* Uphold high standards of data quality, security, and compliance
* Contribute to best practices and continuous improvement across the data function

* Proven background in data mapping, data integration, or similar roles (e.g., Technical BA, Data Analyst, Data Engineer)
* Strong understanding of data structures and modelling (conceptual/logical levels)
* Hands-on experience working with formats such as XML, JSON, CSV, EDI, Excel
* Excellent stakeholder engagement and communication skills
* Ability to work in a collaborative, delivery-focused environment

Nice to Have
