  • Maintain detailed documentation of data sources, definitions, transformation logic, and business rules to ensure transparency and consistency across reports.

  • Monitor data integrity by setting up validation checks, reconciling discrepancies, and working with IT or engineering teams to resolve issues.

  • Help standardize procedures for data handling, reporting, and analysis by creating templates, SOPs, and training materials for team members.

  • Flexibility to adapt and execute various additional assignments based on evolving needs.
