- Contribute to the continual improvement of internal tools for data cleaning and data quality assessment by identifying key data-related challenges that are ideal candidates for automation
- Contribute to the delivery of data-based products to external customers, including data visualizations, data quality reports, and statistical analysis
What you will bring to this role:
