• Own the GBM DP change management process, ensuring producers and consumers are informed of changes to data pipelines, SLAs/DSAs, and business processes, while assessing potential downstream impacts and coordinating appropriate stakeholder actions.
• Support data migration and platform initiatives by providing advisory support on metadata, governance, and data management requirements from a GBM DP perspective.
• Build effective partnerships across data producers, consumers, technology teams, governance functions, and business stakeholders to resolve intake and governance issues and support successful delivery of data initiatives.
