<li>Data Quality &amp; Governance: Establish golden copy rules, survivorship logic, and data quality metrics to proactively identify and resolve data anomalies.</li>
<li>Cross-Functional Collaboration: Act as the primary bridge between engineering teams, external data vendors, and downstream product owners to ensure data models align with business needs.</li>
<li>UAT &amp; Validation: Lead User Acceptance Testing (UAT) for security master enhancements, verifying that data structure modifications satisfy downstream consumers' rigorous data requirements.</li>
