  • Oversee recurring refreshes and lifecycle operations by defining schedules, monitoring freshness and delivery health, resolving failures, validating replacement datasets, and ensuring expired or disallowed data is removed as required.
  • Maintain clear program artifacts and operating rhythms, including status, decisions, risks, control evidence, issue logs, handoffs, and metrics for cycle time, quality, refresh reliability, compliance, and researcher readiness.
