Job Details
Position Title: Lead Data Analyst – Enterprise Data & Analytics
Career Level: P3
Job Category: Manager
Role Type: Hybrid
Job Location: Bangalore
Shift Timing - 2 pm - 11 pm
About the Team:
This role operates within the MDM Data Management – Customer 360 / Reference 360 Programme, supporting enterprise-wide data consumption and downstream reporting. The team ensures that MDM golden records are accurately propagated across APIs, batch pipelines, Snowflake, and reporting layers.
The Lead Analyst plays a critical role in bridging data producers and consumers, ensuring that MDM data is reliable, well-documented, and aligned with business and regulatory expectations. Working collaboratively with cross-functional pod members, the Business Analyst will drive efficient workflows, optimize data systems, and support iterative delivery in a fast-paced Agile environment.
Impact:
The P3 Junior MDM Analyst supports the analysis, validation, and documentation activities required to ensure that data flowing from MDM 360 (Customer 360 / Reference 360) into downstream systems is accurate, consistent, and fit for purposes.
This is an analyst — not a developer — role. Rather than building pipelines or writing production code, the Junior MDM Analyst interprets data flows, documents findings, validates data quality, supports requirements gathering, and assists with UAT and reconciliation reviews across consumption and reporting workstreams.
This role is an excellent entry point into MDM programme delivery, offering exposure to:
MDM 360 → APIs / Batch → Snowflake → Financial Reporting → UI Consumption
Key Deliverables (Duties & Responsibilities):
Develop a working understanding of MDM golden record structures and how data flows from MDM 360 to downstream systems
Document data flows, field mappings, and transformation logic under the guidance of the P4 Analyst or BA Lead
Maintain and update data mapping registers, attribute lists, and business rule logs as requirements evolve
Assist in maintaining the MDM data dictionary — recording field definitions, data types, and ownership
Note and escalate data anomalies or gaps in documentation identified during analysis activities
Supporting validation across the consumption data flow — from MDM through to reporting:
Run and review data validation checks across:
MDM golden records vs. API payload outputs
Batch pipeline outputs vs. expected source data
Snowflake consumption layer vs. MDM source records
UI-displayed data vs. MDM and Snowflake outputs
Use SQL (with guidance) to query datasets, identify discrepancies, and validate attribute-level accuracy
Apply data quality checks across key dimensions — completeness, accuracy, consistency — and document outcomes
Log and track data quality issues in agreed tooling (e.g. JIRA, SharePoint, Excel trackers)
Escalate unresolved or high-impact data discrepancies to the P4 Analyst or BA Lead promptly
Support validation of MDM data used in financial and regulatory reporting layers
Assist in reconciliation activities between:
MDM golden records and Snowflake reporting datasets
Reporting output and expected business values for key financial attributes and hierarchies
Document reconciliation results clearly — noting matched records, mismatches, and volumes
Assist in investigating data breaks and reporting discrepancies by gathering relevant data and preparing findings for P4 review
Track and follow up on outstanding reconciliation items through to resolution
Supporting the P4 BA in translating business needs into clear, documented requirements:
Attend requirements workshops, take structured notes, and circulate agreed actions and decisions
Assist in drafting user stories, acceptance criteria, and data mapping specifications under senior guidance
Review and cross-check requirements documents for completeness, consistency, and alignment with MDM data standards
Maintain up-to-date requirements logs and traceability matrices for the consumption workstream
Raise questions and clarification points with the P4 Analyst when requirements are unclear or ambiguous
From an analysis — not development — standpoint:
Review API payload structures (JSON) and validate that field mappings match agreed data specifications
Use API testing tools (Postman, Swagger) under guidance to inspect responses and document findings
Monitor batch job outcomes and validate data completeness and successful execution against expected results
Log pipeline validation findings and assist in drafting defect descriptions for technical teams
Track open pipeline issues through to resolution, providing status updates to the P4 lead
Support UAT activities across API, batch, Snowflake, and reporting validation scenarios
Execute test cases defined by the P4 Analyst or BA Lead — validate data movement accuracy and business rule adherence
Log defects clearly and completely in agreed defect tracking tools — including steps to reproduce, observed vs. expected results, and data evidence
Track defects through to resolution and retest fixes as required
Assist in preparing UAT summary notes and test evidence for sign-off activities
Skills and Experience :
Strong attention to detail — able to spot discrepancies in data across multiple systems
Structured thinking and ability to organise findings clearly in written form
Comfortable working with large datasets and identifying patterns, gaps, or anomalies
Ability to ask the right questions and escalate issues appropriately
Intermediate SQL — able to write and run queries for data validation, comparison, and reconciliation (joins, filters, aggregations)
Familiarity to some expertise in API concepts (REST/JSON) — able to read and interpret payloads with guidance
Basic exposure to Snowflake or similar cloud data platforms (querying and exploring data)
Understanding of data quality concepts — completeness, accuracy, consistency, and timeliness
Comfortable using tools such as Excel, JIRA, Confluence, Postman, or Swagger for analysis and tracking tasks
Basic understanding of Master Data Management concepts — what MDM is, why golden records matter, and how data flows between systems
Awareness of how downstream systems (Snowflake, reporting tools, UI applications) consume MDM data
Exposure to Informatica Customer 360 / Reference 360 is a plus, but not required
Proactive learner — eager to build MDM and data analysis knowledge on the job
Clear written communication — able to document findings, defects, and notes in a structured, readable format
Reliable and organized — able to manage assigned tasks, track progress, and meet deadlines
Collaborative team player — works effectively in an offshore delivery model with onsite and P4 colleagues
Comfortable asking for help and working under senior guidance without needing full autonomy
Technical Skills:
Hands on experience in database connectivity, SQL Server / Dev, Oracle, Snowflake, Netezza, both on-prem and in cloud. And familiarity with ETL and data virtualization tools.
Experience in MDM/360, API
Good Knowledge or experience in Python, AI / ML , Data visualization tools like Power BI, Tableau
Preferred Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in business, Information Systems, Data Analytics, or a related field with 7-10 years’ experience
Exposure to banking or financial services data environments
Familiarity with Agile delivery — experience attending stand-ups, sprint reviews, or retrospectives
Exposure to data reconciliation tasks in a reporting or analytics context
Interest in or awareness of data governance, data cataloguing, or MDM frameworks
