You will be responsible for an end-to-end analytical scope: understanding data requirements, identifying and validating source data, defining business logic and mappings, preparing Asset Designs and implementation-ready requirements, and collaborating with Data Engineering teams throughout delivery.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys combining hands-on data analysis with business analysis and solution design in a complex banking environment.

What You'll be responsible for:

• Gathering, analysing and refining business and data requirements and translating them into clear technical requirements.
• Acting as a link between business stakeholders, data teams, architects and Data Engineers throughout the data delivery lifecycle.
• Identifying relevant data sources across HDP/Hadoop environments and determining how they should be delivered to the analytical layer in Google Cloud Platform.
• Analysing and validating data using SQL, BigQuery, Hive and Spark SQL.
• Preparing and maintaining Asset Designs, data mappings and detailed solution logic.
• Creating implementation-ready requirements and tickets for Data Engineering, covering data sources, scope, transformations, mappings and business rules.
• Collaborating with Data Engineers during implementation to clarify requirements, explain solution logic and validate delivered solutions.
• Verifying data accuracy, completeness, consistency and alignment with agreed requirements.
• Identifying and analysing Data Quality and Data Completeness issues and coordinating activities with Data Owners, asset owners and engineering teams to resolve them.
• Delivering activities related to Data Governance, including data mapping, standards validation and data access requirements.
• Preparing data access and permission requests for relevant users and groups.
• Analysing ongoing and ad hoc issues affecting data and pipelines, performing root cause analysis and defining required changes.
• Supporting enhancements to existing data pipelines, including changes to processing logic, schedules, dates and source systems.
• Creating and modifying scripts or code maintained in GitHub to support analysis, data validation and project delivery.

We offer a flexible collaboration model based on a B2B contract, with the opportunity to work on diverse projects.

What we're looking for:

• Experience delivering data solutions within banking or financial services.
• Strong hands-on experience with SQL and complex data analysis.
• Practical experience with Google Cloud Platform and BigQuery.
• Experience analysing data in Hadoop/HDP environments, ideally using Hive and/or Spark SQL.
• Experience translating business requirements into technical data requirements.
• Good understanding of data mappings, transformation logic and data flows.
• Experience preparing detailed specifications, solution designs or implementation requirements for Data Engineering teams.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, particularly in the areas of Data Quality and Data Completeness.
• Ability to investigate data issues, identify root causes and define appropriate solutions.
• Experience collaborating with a range of stakeholders, including business teams, Data Engineers, architects, Data Owners and asset owners.
• Familiarity with GitHub and the ability to create or modify scripts supporting data analysis and validation.

Bonus points for:

• Understanding of Data Governance principles and data ownership models.
• Experience with data access management and permission-related processes.
• Understanding of data pipelines, ETL/ELT processes and cloud-based analytical platforms.
• Experience supporting complex data transformation or data migration initiatives.
