Data Analyst

Job Title: Data Analyst

Reports To: Data Migration Lead

FLSA Status: Exempt

Location: Shared Services Office, Irving, TX

Project Ignite is a large‑scale enterprise transformation program uniting 20+ operating companies onto a single Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations and Project Operations platform. We are building a deployment factory designed to roll out several entities per year across a tiered portfolio - from common‑stack migrations to mid‑complexity entities with unique process and integration requirements. This Data Analyst role will support a multi‑wave enterprise transformation program by helping prepare, assess, map, validate, and migrate data for D365 Finance & Operations (PMA) and D365 Project Operations deployments connected via dual‑write.

• Profile legacy/source data, assessing source‑system readiness, and identifying data dependencies, gaps, and quality issues for upcoming deployment waves.
• Use SQL to extract, join, validate, compare, and reconcile datasets from source systems, staging files, and target structures.
• Build and maintain source‑to‑target mapping workbooks, data‑quality issue logs, reconciliation work papers, and extraction inventories.
• Support repeatable migration playbooks, file‑governance standards, naming conventions, and handoff procedures that can scale across multiple OpCos.

• Translate business rules, legacy field usage, and entity‑specific process differences into clear mapping logic, transformation rules, and documented requirements.
• Partner with business stakeholders to understand how source data is created, maintained, and used operationally, then assess fit against target‑state requirements.
• For later go‑live waves, own the data workstream for one OpCo covering extraction, analysis, assessment, mapping, offline migration activities, issue resolution follow‑up, and stakeholder communication.
• Contribute to standard templates and reusable practices so that later waves are faster, more consistent, and less dependent on one‑off decisions.

• Work closely with BSAs, Solution Architects, Integration Engineers, QA, and business SMEs to support testing, mock conversions, cutover planning, and hypercare activities.
• Track open issues, risks, assumptions, dependencies, and status updates for assigned scope; elevate blockers early and communicate clearly with affected stakeholders.
• Coordinate any offline migration activities for the assigned workstream, including file preparation, validation, handoff timing, and business communications.
• Support UAT and dress‑rehearsal cycles by validating data outcomes, tracing defects, documenting findings, and confirming remediation steps.
• Based on demonstrated capability and program need, the role may also support or own pipelines, ETL procedures, and selected Microsoft Fabric assets or orchestration components used for migration, transformation, or reporting.

• Document SQL logic, mapping assumptions, transformation rules, issue resolutions, and repeatable procedures so that future waves can reuse proven approaches.
• Create and maintain training aids, runbooks, and reference materials for recurring extraction, mapping, validation, and offline migration tasks.
• Build working familiarity with D365 data entities, data projects/packages, staging concepts, and Power Platform components relevant to reporting, workflow, and integration.
• Contribute lessons learned after test cycles and deployments to strengthen the program’s internal data‑migration capability over time.

• Standardization mindset - you default to the template and document exceptions rather than customizing first, while understanding that operating companies can have different expectations that warrant a documented deviation.
• Bias toward documentation - you treat playbooks and design logs as delivery outputs, not afterthoughts.
• Collaborative but opinionated - you build strong relationships across finance, IT, and SI teams while being willing to push back when requirements threaten…
