Job Responsibilities

Collaborate with Finance managers, product owners, and internal stakeholders to clarify business needs and translate them into well-defined analytical requirements, solution approaches, and delivery plans.

Build and enhance reliable data pipelines by cleaning, modeling, and optimizing queries across large financial datasets, partnering with others to ensure solutions align with data standards and platform patterns.

Automate manual work (for example, ad hoc queries, quality checks, and recurring reports) using tools such as Alteryx and Python, improving efficiency while maintaining auditability.

Apply strong controls and documentation practices, including testing evidence, lineage awareness, reproducibility, and verified data and visualization accuracy consistent with evolving control requirements.

Partner with Technology and platform teams to support operationalization of solutions, including deployment readiness, control alignment, and transition to steady-state support.

Support enablement by producing clear documentation and participating in training and knowledge-sharing (including short how-to materials) to drive adoption and correct usage.

Help measure adoption, user experience, and recurring pain points, and you will propose iterative improvements that reduce cycle time and improve stakeholder outcomes.
