Rule Definition & Profiling: Collaborate with business stakeholders to identify critical data attributes, profile datasets, analyze requirements, and translate business logic into automated data quality rules.
Root-Cause Analysis & Problem Solving: Interact directly with stakeholders to resolve data quality issues using techniques like root-cause analysis, continuously improving trust and confidence in our enterprise data products.
Platform Ownership: Utilize and manage enterprise data quality and cataloging platforms (e.g., Informatica DQ, Collibra DQ, Ataccama).
Governance Alignment: Support Data Governance teams in deploying observability practices and ensuring compliance with enterprise data quality and fitness standards.

Data Quality Experience: 2–5 years of hands-on data quality management experience, preferably in a consulting or global enterprise setting.
Domain Expertise: Domain knowledge in the pharmaceutical or biotechnology industry is a distinct advantage.
Technical & Functional Competencies
Data Tooling: Hands-on experience with modern data quality and management platforms (e.g., Informatica DQ, Collibra DQ, Ataccama).
Data Concepts: Deep understanding of data governance, data stewardship, data cataloging, data observability, data engineering, and data integration.
Agile & Pragmatic Mindset: Focus on an Agile approach—valuing "good enough over perfection" and applying a "Reuse before Buy before Make" philosophy.
Leadership & Soft Skills
Stakeholder Engagement: Exceptional communication and consultancy skills, with the ability to translate complex technical issues into structured, business-ready solutions.
Analytical & Meticulous: Solution-oriented mindset with high attention to detail and a proactive approach to identifying risks before they arise.
