Job Summary

• Data Managers, who define the team's business requirements, objectives, strategy and priorities
• Data Engineers, who design and implement the processes by which data is collected and generated
• Data Quality Analysts, who define data quality control requirements and oversee these on a day to day basis to ensure constant system health
• Upstream data teams, who provide the data that the analyst is sourcing
• Downstream Process Owners, who depend on the data to perform their business function

Data Analysts spend much of their time working with stakeholders to define data requirements, data transformation logic and supporting the delivery of these requirements from start to finish. They are experts in profiling data to understand its contents and will also have a working understanding of the business process or product that generated it in the first place.

• Identify areas of overlap or data gaps that can lead to increased value, either by eliminating redundant processes or expanding existing data models
• Produce accurate and insightful dashboards and reports detailing the health, content and insights available from the data, making that actionable for stakeholders and meaningful for management decision making

• Evidenced ability to execute and enhance a process to maintain data transformation requirements over time and constantly seek to improve these

Skills and Experience

• Able to seamlessly move and translate between detailed functional data requirements and non-technical general terms
• The ability to write clear, concise and detailed business requirements that can be understood by data engineers and developers as well as business stakeholders
• Strong understanding of Cash Management systems or Payment Systems or Core Banking functionality / data flows – will be desired
