Cross-functional collaboration: work with the CDT on certified dataset requests, data quality issues and platform roadmap alignment.

Mentoring: provide guidance to junior analysts in the domain; contribute to shared templates, standards and knowledge documentation.

Maritime and operational relevance: apply knowledge of port agency operations, hub services and ISS business processes to ensure KPIs and metrics are contextually accurate and operationally meaningfult.
