- Design, build and steward AGL’s enterprise semantic layer – semantic and metric models, business glossary, taxonomies and ontologies – so that key business terms and metrics carry a single, agreed definition.
- Translate business concepts and questions into reusable semantic data models over the Enterprise Data Platform, working with data engineers to align physical data structures to agreed business meaning.
- Develop and maintain knowledge graphs and semantic relationships that connect data across domains (customer, energy markets, assets and retail) to improve data discoverability and reuse.
- Curate the semantic definitions, context and metadata that make enterprise data ‘AI-ready’, grounding generative AI, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and AI agents in trusted business meaning.
- Partner with Data Governance to embed semantic standards, data definitions and metadata management into the enterprise data catalogue and governance framework.
- Enable trusted self-service analytics by providing consistent, well-documented semantic models that business users and analysts can consume with confidence.
- Act as the subject-matter expert on semantic modelling, advising delivery squads and business unit teams on best-practice data definitions, modelling patterns and tooling.
- Track emerging standards in semantic technology, ontologies and AI grounding, and champion continuous improvement of AGL’s semantic tooling and practices.
