Build End-to-End Data Pipeline Architecture: Operationalize the ingestion (Fivetran) and transformation (dbt) layers to move raw CRM (Salesforce) and ERP (NetSuite) data into our central data environment (Snowflake/Databricks) for reliable consumption.

Lead-to-Cash & Revenue Ops Alignment: Partner with Finance, Sales, and Operations to build unified reporting models spanning pipeline health, ARR, billings, churn, and Customer Lifetime Value (LTV) across Salesforce and NetSuite.

Data Governance & Modeling Standards: Enforce soft-engineering best practices for analytics (version control, automated testing via dbt, modular data modeling) to guarantee a single source of truth across executive dashboards.

Executive Stakeholder Management: Serve as a trusted advisor to C-suite leaders, presenting complex financial and operational performance metrics backed by audited data models.

You will interact effectively with the Staff and Principal engineers to build out features, help drive architecture, define best practices and enable product quality.
