Enterprise Data Operations Analyst - Expertise in data modeling tools

Overview

As an Analyst, Data Modeler, your focus would be to partner with D&A Data Foundation team members to create data models for Global projects. This would include independently analysing project data needs, identifying data storage and integration needs / issues, and driving opportunities for data model reuse, satisfying project requirements. Role will advocate Enterprise Architecture, Data Design, and D&A standards, and best practices. You will be performing all aspects of Data Modeling working closely with Data Governance, Data Engineering and Data Architects teams. As a member of the data Modeling team, you will create data models for very large and complex data applications in public cloud environments directly impacting the design, architecture, and implementation of PepsiCo's flagship data products around topics like revenue management, supply chain, manufacturing, and logistics. The primary responsibilities of this role are to work with data product owners, data management owners, and data engineering teams to create physical and logical data models with an extensible philosophy to support future, unknown use cases with minimal rework. You'll be working in a hybrid environment with in-house, on-premises data sources as well as cloud and remote systems. You will establish data design patterns that will drive flexible, scalable, and efficient data models to maximize value and reuse.

Responsibilities

• Complete conceptual, logical and physical data models for any supported platform, including SQL Data Warehouse, EMR, Spark, Data Bricks, Snowflake, Azure Synapse or other Cloud data warehousing technologies.
• Governs data design / modeling – documentation of metadata (business definitions of entities and attributes) and constructions database objects, for baseline and investment funded projects, as assigned.

• Assist with data planning, sourcing, collection, profiling, and transformation.
• Create Source To Target Mappings for ETL and BI developers.
• Show expertise for data at all levels : low-latency, relational, and unstructured data stores; analytical and data lakes; data streaming (consumption / production), data in-transit.
• Develop reusable data models based on cloud-centric, code-first approaches to data management and cleansing.
• Partner with the Data Governance team to standardize their classification of unstructured data into standard structures for data discovery and action by business customers and stakeholders.
• Support data lineage and mapping of source system data to canonical data stores for research, analysis and productization.
