Data Validation Analyst

The Data Validation Analyst is responsible for ensuring the accuracy, completeness, and integrity of high-volume revenue data processed across Salesforce and internal data management systems. This role performs detailed data validation, quality assurance, auditing, and reconciliation activities across millions of records each month to support accurate and reliable customer payment and revenue processes.

The ideal candidate has experience working with large datasets, relational databases, and data quality processes. They are highly analytical, detail-oriented, and comfortable investigating complex data discrepancies, identifying potential risks and root causes, and partnering with cross-functional teams to resolve issues.

The Data Validation Analyst will play a critical role in strengthening data quality controls and improving the scalability, efficiency, and reliability of Buyers Edge Platform's revenue and customer payment processes.
