Main Responsibilities

• Assess and document the downstream impact of data quality issues across payroll processing, management reporting, third-party integrations, and AI/machine learning model inputs

• Identify and escalate risks to data consistency, AI readiness, and global reporting accuracy at the earliest possible stage
• Support organizational cloning and data standardization initiatives through fact-based investigation, evidence gathering, and data profiling
• Design, build, and maintain automated data validation routines and anomaly detection scripts to reduce reliance on manual data quality checks
• Produce clear, structured investigation outputs following a consistent framework: Issue → Root Cause → Risk → Recommendation
