Data Analyst IV

A leading Canadian financial institution is hiring a Senior Data Analyst / Product Owner for a hybrid, long-term contract role in Toronto, ON. The work is mostly Power BI, SQL, Python and Azure (Data Factory, Synapse, Databricks, Unity Catalog).

This role is half analyst and half product owner, and you'll get to do both for real. You'll set the roadmap and run the backlog, and you'll also build the dashboards and datasets yourself. You'll work directly with Risk leadership and senior stakeholders on reporting that matters to the business. You'll also help with a large data modernization effort that moves reporting off manual processes and onto cloud self-service analytics. We want someone who has been a product owner and a hands-on analyst at a large organization and is comfortable switching between the two.
