• Serve as the central data owner partnering directly with Product, Marketing, Engineering, Business Development, Compliance, and Member Support teams.

Essential Requirements

• Production ML: Proven expertise in retraining, monitoring, and debugging live ML models.
• BAU Operator: High autonomy to own daily operations and deliver under tight deadlines.
• Cloud & BI Stack: Practical exposure to GCP (BigQuery), Airflow, or Looker.
