Hi Hope you are doing great today
Role: Data Quality Lead Location: Memphis, TN Duration:6 month initial contract, likely extended through the end of the year. * Candidates may have “Business Analyst” job titles but will need to ensure they have very strong Data background/experience, which should be obvious in resumes – Data skills are much more specialized, and something that general Business Analysts won’t have. If they have it, responsibilities and references to data/quality will be included throughout resume. * Another job title for candidates might be “Data Quality Analyst” – she described this position as being similar to ‘LEAN’ and ‘Six Sigma’ roles, but applied to ‘data’, i.e., governing data, ensuring data is clean before entering system, etc. * Resumes with the right experience will almost always include wording about ‘Data Governance’ and ‘Data Profiling’ since those are key skills and responsibilities. * University of Arkansas has an ‘Information Quality’ Masters program that produces a lot of good people with the right education/experience. She worked directly with a Professor there to get recommendations in the past for open perm Data Quality Analyst positions, and they have turned out to be great hires for their dept – so she recommended Arkansas as a possible source to locate potential candidates, especially since this position could possibly be converted to perm by year-end if person is really good. * Informatica is software they use for ‘profiling data and creating scorecards’ so that type of experience with Informatica is preferred; if candidates haven’t worked specifically with Informatica, need to have experience with another similar software where candidate used it for the purpose of ‘profiling data and creating scorecards’ – 2 she named that are similar to Informatica are DataFlux and Trillium, so that experience would be fine, too. * BAU (Business As Usual) team experience is important for reasons her Director noted in latest update info below, but she said resumes don’t always include specific reference to ‘BAU’ experience so will probably be something recruiters will need to confirm during screening process – candidates definitely need data experience on the business side, including experience on BAU teams. * Data Modeling IT-related experience is what she thinks will be difficult to find, in addition to the most critical experience requirements above and in other bullet points in earlier email. She said her staff has all the other experience, but none have ‘data modeling’, so that would definitely be a big plus. BAU is ‘Business As Usual’ – BAU teams are responsible for the day-to-day activities that ensure systems, processes, etc. work like they’re supposed to – as opposed to ‘new projects’ or ‘implementations’ that change the way things are currently done. You can google to find out more in-depth details. The following link is one I think explains what BAU is pretty well: http://blog.building-blocks.com/what-business-as-usual-bau-means-to-me. *Business Data teams are a hybrid of business people with a good technical appreciation, including some specific skills with IDQ, Embarcadero, etc. The role isn’t to do any development or configuration of Ariba or SAP. The key deliverables are:* · *Target BAU Operating Model (defined and agreed in the Blueprinting phase)* · Coordinate all data management activities on the project (data sources, data migration etc) · Data Model · Data Dictionary / Business Glossary terms (definitions of the data in scope) · Project RACI · Business Process Maps (to S&N standard – BPMN) · Data Profiling & Analysis, DQ Controls and rules build & scorecards into production using IDQ *(Informatica Data Quality) – other similar software is DataFlux and Trillium.* · Knowledge transfer into the central Data Quality team *I have highlighted BAU Operating Model as this is the critical aspect.** How we design the processes and execute the project is essential to the implications for BAU to my business teams (it will define how many resources we need to support BAU, the quality of the data, the complexity and volume of updates). This is why a candidate with business experience working on BAU teams is a huge value add, because they will know the implications first hand of process design and decisions with the project.* Regards *Himanshu* 978-558-4666 x 104 *himan...@teknavigators.com* <himan...@teknavigators.com> 8875 Hidden River Parkway Suite 300 Tampa,FL 33637 *www.*teknavigators.com DISCLAIMER: This message and any attachments are solely for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed and may contain information that is privileged or confidential.
