• Strong understanding of dimensional modeling concepts and enterprise data warehouse design.
• Ability to evaluate source system structures and design efficient downstream data architectures.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting supply chain, logistics, manufacturing, or operational data environments.
• Experience working with large ERP platforms such as Oracle EBS or similar enterprise systems.
• Experience implementing enterprise data modernization initiatives.
• Exposure to Power BI and enterprise reporting solutions.
• Experience with data governance, data quality, and master data management initiatives.

What Success Looks Like

• Reduce reporting dependency on transactional production systems.
• Improve reporting reliability and performance through optimized warehouse architecture.
• Implement scalable incremental data ingestion and synchronization processes.
• Create sustainable, maintainable data structures that support long-term business growth.
• Establish engineering best practices that improve efficiency, consistency, and scalability across the data platform.
