This is a 12+ month contract opportunity.This role is responsible for leading the design, governance, and improvement of data and knowledge foundations that support AI and agentic capabilities across Network Services. The ideal candidate will work with both structured and unstructured data sources to ensure information is defined, organized, and governed for trusted AI consumption, partnering with subject matter experts to translate high-quality data into reusable AI-ready assets.Responsibilities:Lead the design and improvement of data and knowledge assets that support AI and agentic use-cases across Network Services, including both structured and unstructured sourcesDefine and maintain standards for how documentation, configurations, telemetry, metadata, policies, standards, and operational knowledge should be organized, governed, and prepared for AI consumptionPartner with product and service subject matter experts to understand network technologies, operational context, and domain-specific knowledge required to improve model grounding and decision qualityDesign and guide scalable methods for storing, governing, indexing, validating, and retrieving context assets needed for AI-enabled workflows and solutionsEstablish and evolve preventative and detective controls that identify and reduce data quality, metadata quality, knowledge quality, lineage, and freshness issues before they affect downstream AI useLead remediation efforts for material data and knowledge quality issues by identifying upstream root causes, defining corrective actions, and improving reliability of source processes and assetsDefine expectations for ownership, stewardship, lineage, freshness, governance, and control accountability across relevant data and knowledge domainsBuild or guide the development of pipelines, transformations, validation routines, metadata structures, and supporting services that improve the quality and accessibility of AI-relevant context assetsCreate and improve reusable templates, patterns, and guidance for documentation, knowledge artifacts, metadata practices, and context management standardsWork across engineering, architecture, operations, and governance teams to ensure data and knowledge practices align with enterprise controls, delivery needs, and approved standardsMonitor and communicate the health, readiness, and quality of AI-relevant data and knowledge assets, including control gaps, remediation priorities, and material risks to trusted model consumptionRequirements:Strong experience engineering and governing both structured and unstructured data used for analytics, automation, search, or AI-enabled solutionsAdvanced understanding of data modeling, transformation, storage, indexing, retrieval, and metadata management patterns needed to support scalable and governed data and knowledge pipelinesDemonstrated ability to define enterprise-ready standards for how data, documents, knowledge artifacts, metadata, and operational context should be structured and prepared for AI consumptionExperience establishing and improving data quality, metadata quality, and knowledge quality controls that increase trust, consistency, completeness, freshness, and usability of context assetsStrong knowledge of preventative and detective controls used to identify, prevent, and remediate issues related to data quality, metadata quality,
