•    Design curated datasets and semantic models for consistent reporting, self-service analytics and approved AI use cases, with Dbt modelling, testing, version control, CI/CD and monitor-ing.
•    Partner with AI Product Managers and commercial teams to assess use-case feasibility, ex-plain design trade-offs in business terms and validate complex requirements through target-ed proofs of concept.
•    Present designs, risks and recommendations to architecture forums, review critical changes, mentor GBS and vendor engineers, and support technical problem resolution and operation-al handover.
