ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES

As a Data Strategist, you help organisations turn data into a strategic asset by defining how it is structured, governed, and used to enable decision-making, analytics, and AI at scale.
You combine a strong understanding of data management fundamentals with a pragmatic approach to embedding data practices within business operations.

•   Define data strategies and operating models that enable analytics and AI at scale
•   Design and embed data governance frameworks that ensure data is trusted, usable, and business-aligned
•   Drive data quality and data management practices to improve reliability and decision-making
•   Assess data maturity and translate insights into actionable transformation roadmaps
•   Advise on modern data platforms (e.g. Snowflake, Databricks), semantic layers, and governance tools (e.g. Collibra, Purview), ensuring alignment between business needs and technology implementation
•   Support the transition toward data-as-a-product and domain-based data ownership
•   Translate business requirements into clear specifications and coordinate with data and IT teams during delivery
•   Contribute to responsible AI and data ethics by defining principles and governance mechanisms for AI use
