  • Perform data exploration to understand data structures, relationships, and anomalies, identify and reconcile data discrepancies across multiple systems
  • Troubleshoot data quality issues and document findings for resolution
  • Risk Metrics & Governance- Analyze metric methodologies, business rules, and reporting requirements, assess metric changes, impacts, and reporting implications
  • Manage metric lifecycle (intake, development, documentation, enhancement, retirement) in partnership with data owners
  • Translate complex business requirements into clear functional specifications and development-ready requirements
  • Define business rules, calculation logic, data requirements, and expected outputs
  • Investigate data, reporting, and metric issues through structured SQL analysis
  • Validate data accuracy against business requirements
  • Identify root causes of discrepancies and develop practical solutions
  • Build relationships across business, technology, data, and risk teams
  • Clarify requirements, assumptions, and expected outcomes with stakeholders
  • Present data-driven findings and recommendations in clear business language
  • Create Confluence-based visualizations and leadership reporting assets
  • Enhance and maintain reporting infrastructure


What do you need to succeed?

Must have:
  • 3+ years working with SQL, data modeling, or data analytics
  • 3+ years translating business requirements into technical solutions
  • Proficiency querying relational databases and understanding database architecture- Mongo DB experience is preferred
  • Experience troubleshooting data quality issues and reconciling data across systems
  • Demonstrated ability to analyze complex data and develop actionable recommendations
  • Advanced SQL: query optimization, data extraction, transformation, and validation
  • Data modeling: conceptual and logical design; understanding of relational/ non relational schemas
  • Strong Analytical reasoning and problem-solving mindset
  • Strong communication skills


Nice to have:
  • Experience in risk management or governance
  • Python or basic automation scripting
  • Experience with Machine Learning/AI
  • Data visualization tool experience (Tableau)

What's in it for you?
We thrive on the challenge to be our best, progressive thinking to keep growing, and working together to deliver trusted advice to help our clients thrive and communities prosper. We care about each other, reaching our potential, making a difference to our communities, and achieving success that is mutual.
  • A comprehensive Total Rewards Program including bonuses and flexible benefits, competitive compensation, commissions, and stock where applicable
