In this role, you will bridge the gap between business requirements and our Data teams (Data Engineers, Data Analysts). To succeed in this mission, you will not just gather requirements: you will actively dive into the data by writing queries and analyzing our Oracle database tables to understand their structure, quality, and underlying logic.

Key Responsibilities

• Write SQL queries to directly query and analyze tables within our database.
• Explore and profile raw data to understand its structure, underlying business rules, and to identify potential anomalies.

• Work closely with Data teams (Data Engineers, BI, and Analytics) to translate functional business rules into technical requirements.
• Draft clear functional and technical specifications (source-to-target data mapping).
• Assist business stakeholders in defining their requirements by providing a realistic view of the data actually available in the Oracle systems.

• Design and execute test plans (both functional and technical data reconciliation).

Qualifications

• Proficiency in SQL (Essential): Strong ability to write complex queries (JOINs, subqueries, analytical functions, etc.) to query databases.
• 5+ years of solid experience as business analyst.
• Oracle Environment: Proven experience working with Oracle databases (using tools such as PL/SQL Developer, TOAD, DBeaver, or SQL Developer).
• Data Analysis: Ability to analyze data models (tables, views, primary/foreign keys).
• Data Modeling: Basic understanding of data architecture concepts (Data Warehouse, Data Marts).
• French: Minimum C1 level (fluent/advanced) is required, as you will interact closely with French-speaking business stakeholders and write functional specifications in French. A good level of English is also required.

We will only consider CVs in English.
