Responsibilities: 

• Data comparison & reconciliation

• Excel based analysis
  - Build robust spreadsheets using XLOOKUP/VLOOKUP, INDEXMATCH, PivotTables, Pivot Charts, Power Query, conditional formatting, and data validation.
  - Create reusable templates for monthly checks and audit trails.
  - Automate routine checks in Excel where practical (Power Query steps, simple macros if appropriate). 

• Stakeholder engagement & action tracking
  - Work with colleagues in Operations, Finance, Sales, Billing, and IT to agree owners and timelines for fixes.
  - Facilitate short action review huddles; chase updates and unblock issues.
  - Escalate risks early with clear, concise summaries of impact and options. 

• Reporting & insights
  - Produce digestible reports that highlight anomalies, trends, and recommended actions.
  - Maintain dashboards (Excel/Power BI basics) showing discrepancy volumes, remediation progress, and SLA adherence. 

• Process improvement
  - Document data flows and handoffs; suggest practical improvements to reduce recurring errors.
  - Contribute to data quality standards and simple control checks. 

• Governance & compliance
  - Handle sensitive data responsibly (GDPR); follow internal policies for data access, storage, and sharing. 

Requirements:

• Data QA mindset: Strong attention to detail; systematic approach to finding and explaining discrepancies.
• Communication: Clear written and verbal communication; able to translate technical findings for nontechnical audiences.
• Collaboration: Confident working with busy stakeholders to agree actions and deadlines; resilient in chasing progress.
• Organisation: Able to manage multiple checks and follow-ups, prioritising by risk/impact.
• Experience: 6–18 months in an analyst, operations, billing, finance, or QA role (internship/placement acceptable).
• Tools: Excel (advanced user), Teams/SharePoint/OneDrive, basic Power BI; familiarity with CRM/ERP or billing systems a plus.
