• Advanced SQL skills and experience analyzing relational database data, including cloud data platforms such as Snowflake or PostgreSQL.
• Experience with APIs, file-based integrations, external data-provider workflows, ETL or ELT processes, data pipelines, or orchestration workflows.
• Experience monitoring data feeds, investigating exceptions, reconciling data, and documenting mappings or business rules.
• Experience with investment positions, transactions, valuations, capital activity, partner capital account data, or general-ledger data.
• Strong analytical judgment and a structured approach to root-cause analysis and problem solving.
• Excellent attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to work across business and technical teams, own issues through resolution, and contribute collaboratively.

Nice To Haves

Responsibilities

• Monitor inbound and outbound data feeds, APIs, file-based integrations, processing results, validations, deliveries, and service exceptions.
• Reconcile investment positions, transactions, valuations, cash activity, and related reporting data across source systems and downstream outputs.
• Investigate data-quality exceptions and feed breaks, determine root causes, document findings, and coordinate remediation with internal and external partners.

• Use SQL to analyze relational data, validate populations, trace lineage, identify anomalies, and produce repeatable reconciliation evidence.
• Use analytical and automation tools to develop controls, transform and compare datasets, reduce manual analysis, and support scalable monitoring and reconciliation workflows.
