MDM Architect  

Requirement

You’ll design and implement scalable, modern data architectures that ensure accuracy, consistency, and accessibility across the organization. You’ll collaborate closely with data engineering, analytics, and business partners to align data initiatives with enterprise goals and deliver trusted, high-quality data solutions that power decision-making.

Proven ability to collaborate across disciplines to define strategy and deliver scalable data solutions.
Familiarity with AWS services such as S3, Glue, or Redshift is a plus.
