• Own the ontology and knowledge graph strategy across all Gas Power domains: services, engineering, and commercial, ensuring domain models interoperate as one coherent semantic layer.
• Set enterprise-wide modeling standards and patterns (OWL 2, RDF/RDFS, SHACL, SPARQL) that all domain models must follow.
• Resolve cross-domain modeling conflicts and serve as the final technical authority when domain models compete or overlap.
• Design and own the organization's model for scaling ontology work: how contractors, FDEs, and SMEs are staffed, trained, and deployed across the full program.
• Build and evolve the training curriculum that brings SMEs to self-sufficiency in building and maintaining their own domain models.
• Own the organization's overall ontology building capability, measured not by any single domain's output, but by how well the program scales without bottlenecking on any one person.
• Define the model approval framework: review criteria, review board/process, and escalation path for contested or high-risk models.
• Serve as final arbiter on contested or high-risk model approvals, while delegating day-to-day approvals within the defined framework.
• Own the semantic model governance framework end to end: versioning policy, model lifecycle, access model, and metadata/lineage management.
• Ensure governance scales as the knowledge graph grows, auditing for drift, inconsistency, and standards erosion across domains.
• Partner with the GenAI/ML and AI platform teams to ensure the knowledge graph is the grounding layer for RAG and agentic workflows program-wide.
• Communicate modeling trade-offs, and delivery progress clearly to technical teams and senior stakeholders.
• Contribute reusable standards, reference documentation, and mentoring that strengthen ontology and semantic modeling capability across the team.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, information science, data science, engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 4- 6 years of professional experience in data modeling, semantic technologies, or knowledge engineering, including at least 1-2 years working directly with ontologies.
• Professional experience delivering data models, semantic technologies, or knowledge engineering solutions, including direct work with ontologies or knowledge graphs.
• Hands-on proficiency with OWL 2, RDF/RDFS, SHACL, and SPARQL.
• Experience with at least one ontology, graph, or semantic modeling platform or tool, such as Neo4j, Protégé, Palantir Foundry, or Atlan.
• Working knowledge of modern cloud data environments and the integration patterns required to connect semantic layers to enterprise data products.
• Demonstrated ability to independently deliver a defined technical scope within a broader architecture and product roadmap.
• Strong communication and stakeholder-management skills, with the ability to convert ambiguous requirements into clear semantic models and recommendations.
• Demonstrated ability to work independently on a defined scope while collaborating within a broader technical roadmap.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in an industrial, energy, or manufacturing environment (services demand, asset performance, or engineering data domains a plus).
• Exposure to GenAI/LLM applications, particularly RAG architectures grounded in structured knowledge.
• Familiarity with MCP (Model Context Protocol) or similar agent-to-data integration patterns.
• Experience contributing to platform evaluation or architecture decision documents for executive audiences.
• Knowledge of data governance, metadata management, or MLOps practices (MLflow or similar).
