• Support the design and implementation of a data quality framework, including rules, controls, thresholds, issue workflows and remediation processes aligned to the transformation program.

• Develop automated and repeatable data quality checks using Python and SQL to validate the completeness, accuracy, consistency and timeliness of critical reference data.

• Use Informatica to profile data, monitor quality metrics and support the implementation of data quality rules and exception-handling processes.

• Build and maintain Power BI dashboards and reporting to provide visibility into data quality KPIs, trends, defects and remediation progress.

• Partner with Data Operations, Data Governance, Technology and business stakeholders to define critical data elements, business rules and data acceptance criteria.

• Support root cause analysis and resolution of data defects in collaboration with upstream and downstream stakeholders.

• Prepare process, control and operating documentation to support transition into business-as-usual operations.

• Support knowledge transfer and operational readiness activities to enable an effective handoff to the Functional Data Operations team.

Required Skills & Experience

• University degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, Business, Accounting or a related field.

• 4+ years of experience in data quality, data management, analytics or a related discipline, including experience supporting transformation or operational improvement initiatives.

• Advanced proficiency in Python, SQL, Power BI and Informatica, with practical experience building automated checks, dashboards, data quality rules and exception-handling processes.

• Strong experience with data profiling, validation, reconciliation, root cause analysis, dashboard development and data quality controls.

• Demonstrated ability to partner effectively across business, technology, data operations and data governance teams.

• Strong analytical, problem-solving, prioritization and communication skills, with a high degree of attention to detail.

Preferred Skills & Experience

• Experience with Azure DevOps, ServiceNow or similar workflow and issue management tools.

• Familiarity with investment platforms and data environments across IBOR and ABOR, such as Aladdin, CRD, Calypso or Eagle PACE.

• Experience preparing process, control and operating documentation to support business-as-usual transition.

• Curiosity, flexibility and adaptability in a dynamic investment and technology environment.
