Job Responsibilities

1. Analysis of Legacy Systems

For each use case, analyze the mapping document of target tables to determine operational objectives by studying business functions, gathering information, and evaluating output requirements.
Track the target field mapping back to the original data element in the source system.
Strong knowledge of SQL to perform data analysis and data profiling on different legacy systems.
Document the existing source-to-target data flow for each table, including:
- Business transformation rules applied.
- Key-cutting implemented to identify surrogate keys defined as unique identifiers in a table.
- Reference data used to enhance the context and validity of target data elements.
For tables where mapping documentation is not available, TSBI and ETL leads must jointly review the code to extract business rules and capture them in the requirements document.

2. L2/L3 Model

The business team is responsible for the creation of the L2 Model, supported by the Project Business Analyst, Solution Architect, and TSBI.
Collaborate with data scientists, business analysts, and IT teams to integrate advanced L2/L3 models into the data pipeline.

3. Mapping Design of New L2/L3

Prepare technical design and mapping (Data Movement Model) for the new L2 Model by working with Project Business Analysts and Solution Architects.
Review the key-cutting process to be implemented on the L2 model and obtain approval from L2 Schema Owners.
Only BORT system data will be populated into the L2 schema; other reference and tactical data will be directly consumed by L3 processes.
L2-to-L3 mapping will contain business transformation rules for each target table.
A custom surrogate key process will be implemented on L3 tables, which will contain different keys than L2 tables.
Any system with one-off tables holding business data will be loaded into the L3 schema for target table processing.
Spearhead the implementation of robust data governance policies and procedures, ensuring compliance with industry regulations and standards, resulting in a 20% reduction in data security incidents.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to design and implement data quality frameworks, improving data accuracy and integrity while reducing errors.
