• Partner with product and service subject matter experts to understand network technologies, operational context, and domain-specific knowledge required to improve model grounding and decision quality.

• Design and guide scalable methods for storing, governing, indexing, validating, and retrieving context assets needed for AI-enabled workflows and solutions.

• Establish and evolve preventative and detective controls that identify and reduce data quality, metadata quality, knowledge quality, lineage, and freshness issues before they affect downstream AI use.

• Define expectations for ownership, stewardship, lineage, freshness, governance, and control accountability across relevant data and knowledge domains.

• Build or guide the development of pipelines, transformations, validation routines, metadata structures, and supporting services that improve the quality and accessibility of AI-relevant context assets.
