• Implement and maintain database security controls, including user access management, encryption, and compliance requirements.
• Support reporting, analytics, and business intelligence needs through data extraction and database solutions.
• Collaborate with application developers, data teams, and infrastructure teams to integrate and support enterprise systems.
• Maintain database documentation, standards, and operational procedures.
