Build repeatable, well documented processes that allow data capture to scale without chaos. Data Pipeline Ownership Own the pipeline from raw data capture through storage, validation, and delivery to downstream teams. Work with engineering to ensure data is traceable, accessible, and well structured. Define and enforce quality checks to ensure captured data meets agreed standards. Third Party & Vendor Management Source, onboard, and manage external data capture partners and vendors. Monitor and manage cost, throughput, and quality, to the highest possible standard. Continuously evaluate buy vs build vs partner approaches to data capture. Cross Functional Collaboration & Compliance Work closely with scientists and domain experts to ensure captured data reflects real world lab behaviour. Support compliance, security, and privacy requirements (e.g. GDPR) across all capture workflows. Ensure appropriate consent and usage rights are in place for all captured data. Measurement & Continuous Improvement Define KPIs for capture quality, coverage, cost, latency, and reusability. Identify bottlenecks and inefficiencies in capture operations and resolve them.
