Key responsibilities
 

The Data Quality Specialist plays a pivotal role in unlocking the power of our data.

This person will support the Data Quality Manager in the remediation process by analyzing, collecting, cleaning, and interpreting data sets to answer questions or solve problems related to Data Quality. The role of the Data Quality Specialist in collaborating with data stewards is essential to define data ownership and accountability for Critical Data Elements. 
 

Through this role, you will have the main following responsabilities:
 

Handle and model large datasets, solve complex problems, and answer critical business questions through data analysis.                                                                                           Develop strategies to identify, acquire, and utilize the right data sets to create solutions and support informed decision-making. Design and execute data quality checks and audits to identify inconsistencies and errors in data sets.                                                                                             Craft clear and insightful visualizations to effectively communicate your findings and translate data into actionable recommendations. Extract, integrate, and manipulate data to build data pipelines, automate reports and dashboards, and empower internal stakeholders with self-service tools.  Own, design, develop, document, and manage scalable solutions for key metrics, reports, analyses, and dashboards that drive business success.  Develop queries and data visualizations to fulfill ad hoc requests, recurring reports, troubleshooting needs, and ongoing projects. Apply data mining, modeling, warehousing, and other analytical techniques to develop and manage customer segmentation and predictive models that fuel business growth.  Work closely with Lines of Business (LOBs) and Business Units (BUs) to understand their analytical needs, identify critical metrics/KPIs, and deliver actionable insights to Data / Business owners. Collect, merge, and clean data from diverse sources to prepare data for the Allianz Data Platform.
Monitoring Critical Data Elements (CDEs):  Develop and implement automated processes to monitor the quality of CDEs in real-time (or near real-time). This could involve setting up thresholds and alerts for metrics like data completeness, accuracy, consistency, and timeliness. Regularly analyze trends in CDE quality metrics to identify potential issues and proactively address them before they impact downstream processes. Investigate and troubleshoot root causes of CDE quality issues, working with data owners and stakeholders to resolve them.
Data Profiling: Conduct data profiling exercises on new and existing data sets to understand their structure, content, and quality characteristics. This includes analyzing data types, value distributions, presence of missing values, outliers, and potential inconsistencies. Use data profiling insights to define data quality rules and identify potential areas of risk or non-compliance with regulations. Leverage data profiling techniques to identify hidden patterns, trends, and relationships within the data that can be used to improve business processes and inform decision making.
