About The Position

This individual will act as a bridge between business stakeholders, project managers, and the SQL Devs, helping to standardize processes, reduce risk during releases, and improve the overall efficiency of feature and defect delivery. This role is responsible for managing environment synchronization, supporting release and deployment activities, identifying and resolving DDL drift, and driving automation across the data lifecycle. The Position also contributes to improving governance, documentation, and repeatability of processes to ensure consistent and reliable outcomes across both on-premises systems and cloud platforms.
