We are looking for a candidate with extensive experience in data management projects to support with data mapping, profiling, and quality testing.

This role requires strong stakeholder management and communication skills along with the ability to take initiative with minimal supervision.

The Business Analyst will serve as the voice of the customer, ensuring that business needs are clearly understood, articulated, and documented.

Act as the voice of the customer, working with IT project team members and business stakeholders to fully understand business processes, pain points, and customer needs.

Develop expertise in customers' business applications and organizational data management concepts, advocating for the customer throughout the SDLC.

Diagram current processes and propose modifications using process flows (BPMN 2.0), context diagrams, and data flow diagrams to ensure clarity for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Decompose traditional requirements into Agile Epics and Features, create clear and concise user stories that are aligned with customer goals and are easy to implement by technical teams.

Execute advanced SQL queries to support data mapping, profiling, and analysis.

Perform comprehensive testing to ensure functionality, data integrity, and customer satisfaction, including:

o Functional Testing: Validate that the integrated systems meet specified requirements.

o Data Validation Testing: Ensure accuracy, completeness, and consistency of transferred data.

o Regression Testing: Verify new integrations do not disrupt existing functionalities.

o End-to-End Testing: Test entire workflows across integrated systems for seamless operation.

o User Acceptance Testing (UAT): Collaborate with stakeholders to validate business needs.

Use tools like Azure DevOps and Jira to manage work items and ensure alignment with customer goals.

Proficiency in QA tools, Microsoft Office, reporting systems, and SDLC tools like Azure DevOps and Jira.

Experience with reporting systems, operational data stores, data warehouses, data lakes, and data marts.

Exceptional written and oral communication skills with a proven ability to advocate for customers while working with a diverse set of peers and stakeholders.

Advanced verbal presentation skills to senior leaders in a matrixed organization.
