Use your skills in SQL, Snowflake/AWS, and Python/R to build models that measure and evaluate the quality, consistency, resilience, accuracy, and availability of our data
Collaborate across teams as a data quality advocate, guiding on the need to balance which data/sources require high accuracy versus directionally accurate data
Develop and implement manual and automated test cases to ensure reliability of data pipelines, data migration processes and data transformations
Build and maintain technical documentation of acceptance criteria, test plans, use cases and results
Conduct initial root cause analysis for data issues, collaborating with partners to clearly identify the issue, scope of the issue, and path for research/solutioning
Analyze and clearly communicate impacts of data updates, changes, additions/removals to technical and non-technical partners

Familiarity and experience working with Data Quality programs, covering data quality processes, statistical methods for assessing data, and defining potential solutions for remediation
Strong written and oral communication skills that translate across technical and business domains
Collaboration skills and ability to work effectively in a cross-functional, interdependent team environment
