• Partner with investment operations, reporting, portfolio management, accounting, compliance, and technology teams to translate business requirements into data requirements, mappings, validation rules, and integration specifications.
• Support secure and controlled data movement from Canoe into Snowflake and other enterprise data platforms.
• Contribute to data modeling, data transformation, and consumption-layer design for alternative investment data used in reporting, analytics, portfolio review, and client service workflows.
• Use APIs, file-based integrations, ETL/ELT tools, automation scripts, and platform configuration to improve the reliability and scalability of Canoe-related workflows.
• Monitor production data feeds, identify exceptions, perform root-cause analysis, coordinate remediation, and escalate issues to vendors or internal teams as appropriate.
• Validate data quality, completeness, timeliness, and consistency across Canoe, Addepar, Snowflake, reporting tools, and other downstream systems.
• Participate in platform enhancements, regression testing, user acceptance testing, release planning, production deployments, and change-management activities.
• Maintain documentation for data flows, source-to-target mappings, business rules, control points, reconciliation procedures, support runbooks, and platform operating procedures.
• Identify opportunities to automate manual processes, reduce recurring exceptions, improve document-processing accuracy, and strengthen operational controls.
• Ensure Canoe-related data processes align with Brown Advisory's standards for security, privacy, auditability, operational resilience, and financial services regulatory expectations.
• Collaborate with architects, data engineers, analysts, platform owners, vendors, and business stakeholders to improve the reliability, usability, and scalability of the alternative investment data environment.
