Data Analysts are responsible for importing, transforming, and validating (or querying) data with the purpose of understanding or drawing conclusions from the data to drive decision-making. They may use modeling techniques to form data in ways that can be analyzed and/or queried to identify data quality issues, anomalies, or deviations. They generate ad hoc reports and regular datasets or report information for end-users using system tools, database or data warehouse queries, and scripts. They also integrate data from multiple sources to produce requested or required data elements. They work closely with business groups, IT verticals, and governance teams to provide information to drive data quality and usage decisions.

This role will sit with the Depot and Traffic business in Building 4 and will work directly with the VPs in the Depot and Traffic Operations area. The team will receive a prioritized list of items to deliver from the Vice-Presidents in the area. These may vary and may be re-prioritized based on business need. They are expected to provide full transparency of progress on any assigned efforts through an online backlog and tracking document shared with Depot/Traffic Operations and CDS team members. While the team reports into CDS, the daily assignments will be provided by the Depot/Traffic Vice Presidents.

There may also be the need for Saturday work as well as travel to the depots.
