As a data analyst your main role is understanding business requirements and provide data mapping
and analysis that forms the blueprint of data flow from raw source systems to a customized data
mart, dashboards or any other API required for data consumption. You will play a crucial role in the
data management process, ensuring that data is collected, transformed, and made accessible for
analytical purposes. Your expertise in data technologies will enable the organization to make
informed decisions and derive valuable insights from large datasets.
