Data Management Specialist

Description

Enterprise Data and Analytics is seeking a Junior Business Data Analyst to support the design, development, and continuous improvement of operational, analytical and AI-ready data solutions and data products. This role is ideal for an early-career professional who understands foundational data management, business analysis, semantic modeling, and AI-ready data concepts, and the characteristics of high-quality data required to support analytics and AI at scale.

The analyst will participate across the full data product development lifecycle — from business discovery and requirement definition through semantic model design, testing, governance alignment, release, adoption, and continuous improvement. The role will work closely with business stakeholders, data product owners, data engineers, analytics teams, architects, governance teams, and AI practitioners to ensure data products are reusable, trusted, scalable, and aligned to business outcomes.

This role also requires comfort using AI-assisted tools to accelerate product design, business analysis, metadata development, documentation, insight generation, and analytical exploration.

• Contribute to logical data modeling and analytical model documentation. Help align data structures to domain concepts and business terminology.
• Assist in defining and documenting semantic models that make data easier for business users, analysts, and AI solutions to understand and consume. Work with technical teams to ensure semantic layers reflect business logic accurately and consistently.
• Analyze data sources and prepare source-to-target mapping documents and functional specifications for data and BI engineers to build ETL jobs, APIs and reports.
• Perform data quality and gap analysis and support root cause identification and remediation tracking. Define data quality rules for ongoing monitoring.
• Support test case development and user acceptance testing for data products, reports, and semantic models. Validate outputs against business requirements and expected results.
• Coordinate code deployment /configuration changes to upper environments. Follow change management stipulations for production implementation and strictly adhere to the compliance and regulatory requirements.
• Support efforts to improve data quality, completeness, consistency, and usability for operational, analytical and AI applications.
