Support audit and regulatory reporting efforts by maintaining accurate and transparent data documentation and reporting structures.
Implement data quality assurance processes to maintain compliance with regulatory standards.

Team Management & Collaboration:

Lead a small but high-impact team of Data Analysts, BI Developers, and Data Scientists.
Foster a collaborative relationship with technology, compliance, finance, marketing, and operations teams.
