Your Opportunity

The Data Quality Analyst will play a critical role in analyzing and improving data quality across cross-functional systems within the firm. Operating within the Data Governance team, this person must have a strong sense of data governance—understanding its principles and how data quality fits within the governance framework—even if they are not a governance expert. This is a new role and will require advanced analytical skills, proficiency in SQL and Python, business process insight, and the ability to work collaboratively with data stewards and other stakeholders. The ideal candidate would have an advanced understanding of the end-to-end data process and how integrated data technologies work to perform thorough and accurate root cause analysis.

The candidate must be able to learn and adopt new data quality tools such as Soda, AI-powered data quality platforms, as well as native data quality functions in platforms like Microsoft Purview and Databricks.

Key Responsibilities

• Analyze data across multiple, diverse systems to understand business flows, model structures, and potential sources of quality issues.
• Research and understand undocumented or complex data models to support issue investigation and ongoing monitoring.
• Work collaboratively with data stewards to design, document, and implement business-focused data quality rules, translating them into actionable technical requirements for developers and engineers.
• Investigate root causes of data quality problems and provide evidence-based recommendations and remediation plans.
• Communicate data quality issues, root causes, business impacts, and recommendations clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Have a solid understanding of enterprise master data, analyze and detect issues within master data, and identify complex data scenarios from underlying source systems of the master data.
• Document findings, quality rules, technical requirements, and corrective actions for usability across governance, technical, and business teams.
• Support the enforcement of data governance policies and continuous improvement of data quality practices.
• Prepare and deliver reports, dashboards, and presentations to track and communicate progress and outcomes.
