Work closely with the Data Architect to support RDMP platform build:
Provide insights on source data issues and domain definitions
Support lineage/quality requirements and documentation
Collaborate with FP&A partners and domain stakeholders:
Translate business expectations into validation rules and test cases
Ensure the data being delivered aligns to real business outcomes
