• Partner with product and service subject matter experts to understand technologies, operational context, and domain-specific knowledge required to improve model grounding and decision quality.
• Design and implement scalable methods for storing, governing, indexing, and retrieving context assets needed for enabled workflows and solutions.
• Establish and improve preventative and detective controls that identify and reduce data quality, metadata quality, knowledge quality, and freshness issues before they affect downstream use.
• Contribute to data quality remediation efforts by identifying upstream sources of issues, defining corrective actions, and improving the reliability of data at the source.
• Define and maintain expectations for data ownership, lineage, freshness, stewardship, and governance across relevant data and knowledge domains.
• Build and enhance pipelines, transformations, validation routines, and supporting services that improve the quality and accessibility of data and knowledge assets.
• Support the creation of reusable templates, patterns, and guidance for knowledge artifacts, documentation standards, and context management practices.
• Monitor and communicate the health, readiness, and quality of relevant data and knowledge assets, including issues, gaps, and remediation priorities.
