• Develop and maintain source-to-target mappings, including source tables/columns, target data objects, transformation rules, data types, business definitions, and reconciliation requirements. 
• Partner with Data Architects and Data Engineers to define target data models and ensure technical implementations accurately represent Finance business requirements. 
• Perform data analysis and profiling across source systems to identify data-quality issues, inconsistencies, gaps, duplicate records, and mapping challenges. 
• Play a key role in financial data validation and reconciliation, working with Finance and Engineering teams to ensure data in the target platform reconciles with source systems and approved Finance reports. 
• Define data-quality rules and expected validation controls for critical Finance data elements. 
• Document data lineage and business definitions to improve traceability, governance, and auditability. 
• Support functional testing, system integration testing, and UAT by developing test scenarios, expected results, reconciliation criteria, and defect documentation. 
• Coordinate with Finance SMEs to obtain business validation and formal sign-off on data products, reports, dashboards, and KPIs. 
• Work with Power BI and Databricks AI/BI capabilities to help translate business requirements into dashboards, semantic models, self-service analytics, and other data products. 
• Use approved AI productivity tools, such as Microsoft Copilot, to accelerate requirements documentation, data mapping, test-case development, meeting summaries, and other project artifacts while maintaining appropriate review and governance. 

Required Qualifications 

• 5+ years of Business Analysis, Data Analysis, or Finance Analytics experience, preferably supporting enterprise data integration, data warehouse, lakehouse, or BI initiatives. 
• Demonstrated experience working with Finance data, preferably Accounts Receivable, Credit, Collections, Customer Master, cash application, or related financial processes. 
• Strong experience translating Finance business requirements into data requirements and source-to-target mappings. 
• Experience analyzing data across multiple ERP or financial systems and reconciling information between source systems and reporting platforms. 
• Strong understanding of data concepts including dimensions, measures, hierarchies, business rules, data quality, lineage, and reconciliation. 
• Experience working with enterprise ERP platforms such as Oracle E-Business Suite Financials, SAP, or similar financial systems; Oracle EBS experience strongly preferred. 
• Experience with reporting and analytics platforms such as Power BI, Databricks AI/BI Dashboards, Tableau, or similar tools. 
• Strong SQL skills with the ability to independently query and analyze data for requirements validation, profiling, reconciliation, and testing. 
• Experience supporting functional testing and UAT for data and analytics solutions. 
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to work effectively with both Finance executives/SMEs and highly technical engineering teams. 
• Strong documentation skills and attention to detail, particularly when documenting financial calculations, mappings, business rules, and reconciliation logic. 

Preferred Qualifications 

• Experience with Accounts Receivable data, including aging, invoices, payments, credit limits, customer exposure, unapplied cash, collections, and related KPIs. 
• Experience with Oracle EBS AR and customer-related data structures. 
• Experience supporting cloud data platforms or lakehouse implementations, preferably Databricks. 
• Familiarity with medallion/layered data architectures and enterprise data modeling.
