Manager, Data Analysis

Job Summary

A Data Analyst interprets data and helps turn it into information that enables or improves a business process, thus affecting business decisions. Data Analysts gather information from various sources and interpret patterns and trends to make it digestible for others. They must have strong analytical skills, but above all have a burning curiosity to understand, and make sense of, data. They will work closely with:

• Data Managers, who define the team's business requirements, objectives, strategy and priorities
• Data Engineers, who design and implement the processes by which data is collected and generated
• Data Quality Analysts, who define data quality control requirements and oversee these on a day to day basis to ensure constant system health
• Upstream data teams, who provide the data that the analyst is sourcing
• Downstream Process Owners, who depend on the data to perform their business function

Data Analysts spend much of their time working with stakeholders to define data requirements, data transformation logic and supporting the delivery of these requirements from start to finish. They are experts in profiling data to understand its contents and will also have a working understanding of the business process or product that generated it in the first place. Data Analysts are the entry point to the FCC Data Team for most external stakeholders and as such will have a broad, but still detailed, understanding of all the data available and constantly seek opportunities for innovation and expansion. They are the primary liaison between up- and downstream teams
