    + Ensure that all data solutions and semantic models are architected with scalability, reliability, and high performance to support growing data volumes and diverse analytic workloads.

    + Collaborate with clients, business stakeholders, and cross-functional teams (including client leads, data engineers, and data scientists) to gather requirements and deliver tailored, impactful data solutions.

    + Enable knowledge graph and AI initiatives by ensuring semantic models are structured for easy integration with knowledge graph architectures and are optimized for AI-powered applications (such as AI Chat or NLP).

    + Apply broad knowledge of data management and business drivers to solve complex operational challenges, improve processes, and deliver value to clients.

    + Apply in-depth knowledge of standard principles and techniques/procedures to accomplish complex assignments and provide innovative solutions.

    + Coach others and share in-depth knowledge of own job discipline and broad knowledge of several job disciplines within the function.

    + Lead by example and model behaviors that are consistent with CBRE RISE values. Work to build consensus and convince others to reach an agreement.

    + Impact a range of customer, operational, project, or service activities within own team and other related teams.

    + Work within broad guidelines and policies.
