Implement and optimize solutions using Oracle Exadata and Oracle Goldengate for high‑availability, scalable environments.

Architect, develop, and support complex ETL pipelines using Informatica and/or Ab Initio, ensuring data quality and consistency through all stages of data movement.

Drive and enforce data standardization (definitions, dictionary, lineage), maintaining thorough documentation and accessible references for ongoing projects.

Collaborate with DBA, ETL, Data Management, and Business teams to establish and refine best practices in data modeling, transformation, replication, and processing.

Mentor and provide technical leadership to data architects and analysts, fostering a culture of best practices and continuous improvement.

Work with business stakeholders, enterprise architecture, and technical teams to align data architecture with organizational goals.

Create a strategic roadmap and lead the implementation of Master Data Management solutions (including acting tool selection and rollout).

Participate in and sometimes lead in‑person working sessions and interviews at short notice (willingness to relocate or travel required).

In‑depth experience with Informatica and/or Ab Initio, including design, development, and optimization of ETL/ELT processes.

Hands‑on in Master Data Management (MDM) strategy, tool implementation, and stewardship.

Solid data governance background (20–25% focus) with practical examples enforcing standards, terminology, and data quality policies.

Ability to communicate technical solutions clearly to both business and technical audiences; must be comfortable presenting achievements and demystifying architecture.
