- Develop and configure validation scripts, and custom SQL-based listings to ensure data integrity, auditability, and cleanliness during ingestion into Veeva DQS and Vault CDMS.
- Provide feedback to the Vault CDMS & DQS product teams based on real-world customer migration challenges, data volume bottlenecks, and client requirements.
- Contribute to reusable migration tools, data mapping templates, and automation initiatives, mentoring junior team members throughout the migration lifecycle.
