This role will focus on vetting and validating upstream and downstream data, performing analysis to ensure correctness, and partnering closely with the Data Architect to support the RDMP platform goals.

- Work closely with the Data Architect to support RDMP platform build:
- Provide insights on source data issues and domain definitions
- Support lineage/quality requirements and documentation
- Collaborate with FP&A partners and domain stakeholders:
- Translate business expectations into validation rules and test cases
- Ensure the data being delivered aligns to real business outcomes
- Investigate upstream issues and coordinate with data engineering teams to fix defects quickly.
- Maintain documentation on data definitions, validation steps, findings, and remediation status.

- Strong hands-on exposure to:

- Azure ecosystem (data services understanding)
- Familiarity with Oracle planning modules (BPM / EDM / EBPCS) and/or finance planning data flows.
- Strong critical thinking and ability to ask probing questions across upstream/downstream systems.
Preferred Qualifications

- Familiarity with data lineage, observability, and governance practices.
