Finance Data Pipeline Analyst

Role Overview

• Monitor and report on the end‑to‑end aggregated data flow of Gaming, Sportsbook, and PSP data from source systems through downstream platforms, including ERP and Group Reporting.
• Own visibility of the data pipeline itself, ensuring all activities, dependencies, and transformations between systems are understood and documented.
• Document and maintain data transformation logic, including version control, with full consideration for SOX and audit requirements.
• Maintain data lineage documentation for critical pipelines, enabling auditors to trace aggregated financial results (e.g. TM1) back to originating source transactions.
• Monitor batch processing and data loads, proactively identifying and resolving failures before they impact month‑end close or reporting cycles.
• Design, build, and operate automated player related data reconciliation controls to demonstrate data completeness and accuracy across all system hand‑offs.
• Document PAR reconciliation controls, including investigation, resolution, and assist finance teams with discrepancies.
• Define and maintain data validation rules across ingestion, transformation, and loading stages, with clear exception reporting.
• Develop and sustain aggregated and player‑level data quality rules to detect anomalies before they surface in financial and management reporting.
• Validate data quality rules on the use of dimensions and define acceptance criteria for new or changed data feeds.
• Manage the aggregated player data quality incident lifecycle, including:
• Supporting finance BAU teams in resolving data issues (i.e. PAR)
• Diagnosing causes across systems and processes.
• Suggest fixes and preventative controls to avoid recurrence.
• Translate broad feedback (e.g. “the data is wrong”) into clear problem statements, assess business impact, and drive investigation and resolution.
• Distinguish between data issues and reporting or presentation issues and coordinate appropriate remediation.
• Lead requirements analysis and documentation for changes impacting the finance data pipeline.
• Work closely with Finance, Data, Technology, and Operations teams, contributing as a collaborative, cross‑functional partner.
