• Work directly with requestors to clarify requirements and translate them into technical implementation, escalating or coordinating with others only when needed.
• Apply strong judgment around data quality, reconciliation, and reasonableness, validating outputs before changes are promoted or released.
• Document data logic, assumptions, and changes clearly to support maintainability, knowledge transfer, and operational stability.

• You have advanced SQL skills, including complex joins, aggregations, and validations, and experience developing analytics in an enterprise data platform (, Synapse or equivalent).
• You know Python and have hands‑on experience using it to support analytics, data validation, automation, or analytical workflows.
• You are comfortable analyzing large, structured datasets and apply strong judgment around data quality, reconciliation, and reasonableness of results.
• You can translate business or analytical questions into clear data requirements and communicate results effectively to both technical and non‑technical stakeholders, acting as a bridge between business needs and technical implementation.
• Experience with Databricks is considered an asset.
• Exposure to visualization tools (, Power BI) is an asset.
• Professional actuarial designations (, ACAS or FCAS) are considered an asset.

How you will succeed:

• You influence change and are committed to continuous improvement, in order to exceed client expectations.
• You leverage critical thinking skills to identify problems and proactively propose solutions.
