- Documentation and runbook assurance: Own and improve technical documentation, Knowledge Base Articles, and platform runbooks, ensuring updates after every P1 or P2 incident and maintaining assurance over documentation quality.
- Collaboration & Stakeholder engagement: Collaborate with the Account Director, Enterprise Architect, and pre-sales team to identify opportunities for Fabric optimization, wider data-platform coverage, automation, ServiceNow integration, resilience testing, and additional DataOps or architecture-advisory services.
