• Coordinate cross-functional teams to ensure alignment with business goals and timelines.

• Act as the main point of contact for stakeholders, ensuring transparent communication and risk management.

• Integrate best practices in Agile delivery and AI-assisted workflows (Gen-e2) in project execution.

• 5+ years in Data Quality, Data Governance, or similar data-centric leadership roles.

• Proven experience as a Project Manager in data or technology-driven environments.

• Proficient in data profiling tools, ETL pipelines, and quality frameworks (e.g., DQ rules, scorecards, anomaly detection).

• Experience working with SQL, Python, or data platforms (Snowflake, AWS, GCP, Azure, Talend, Informatica).

• Strong stakeholder management, communication, and leadership skills.
