- Optimize data workflows: Design and streamline scalable procedures for terminal onboarding, quality assurance, and automated processing in collaboration with engineering and data operations teams.
- Integrate market and refinery context: Apply operational knowledge of refinery storage, blending processes, and transport dynamics (pipeline, barge, truck, ship) to maintain high data integrity during market disruptions or maintenance events.
- Support regional and global expansion: Lead the data rollout from current European and North American hubs to global coverage, establishing robust methodologies for new geographical regions.
- Collaborate cross-functionally and support commercial teams: Partner with internal research, commercial, and product teams to share methodology, gather client feedback, and support sales enablement.
