OBJECTIVES/PURPOSE

Member is responsible for the data layer of the platform, including reporting, data pipelines, and system integrations. This role coordinates delivery across these areas, provides subject matter expertise during implementation, and monitors data products after deployment to ensure continued accuracy and reliability.             

 Serves as the data SME and coordination point for all data-related request types: reporting fixes, data model changes, data pipelines, reporting and integration issues. Does not manage general platform development — those remain with the Platform Manager.

• Provide SME oversight for reporting data pipelines, ensuring dashboards and analytics outputs reflect accurate Planisware data structures and deliver consistent business insights.
• Own pipeline monitoring oversight post-deployment across all data-related request types, identifying recurring failures, initiating issue resolution activities, and escalating architectural concerns to the Platform Manager when required.
• Liaise with upstream and downstream system owners on integration enhancements and pipeline changes, ensuring cross-system dependencies are managed and integration standards are met before technical architecture review.
• Own the reliability and quality of Planisware-related data products, reporting pipelines, and integrations from build through to post-deployment monitoring.
