* Work with other to implement the designed pipeline from the ETL of the data at ingest through to the creation of the final analytical dataset.
* As far as is possible ensure consistency between pipelines ensuring that any associated standards are followed.
* Ensure pipelines can be adapted and re-run should data quality issues be identified
* Liaise with Analysis teams to ensure that requirements and specification for data structure and outputs are understood and incorporate in the pipeline
* Address blockers actively seeking solutions to remove them and proposing alternative routes to delivery.
* Promote a frequent incremental delivery approach
