• Hands-on experience working with large and complex time-series datasets.
• Experience handling fundamental financial data such as reported actuals, estimates, guidance, financial statements, and valuation metrics.
• Familiarity with market data, including security prices, corporate actions, and reference data.
• Strong understanding of data modelling, data transformation, data validation, and reconciliation processes.
• Ability to identify data-quality issues and perform detailed root-cause analysis.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, documentation, and communication skills.
