Responsibilities

Worker will perform advanced functional and technical research, analysis, and planning. The worker will be a member of the Data Management team, whose purpose is to assess stored data, identify inaccurately stored data, and validate the accuracy of the data. Specifically, the role of this position is focused on developing a strategy and design of processes to cleanse the data in preparation of a future conversion.

Responsibilities:

Work includes hands-on research and analysis of business processes and data elements on given PeopleSoft pages and in code; identifying inaccurate data stored in the database, the root cause of inaccurate data, and formulating a plan to fix the data and the root cause(s) within the code in the PeopleSoft application.

At the core of the project is the identification of fields in the PeopleSoft application (Critical Data Elements or CDEs) that will be a part of a future conversion. The Worker will be responsible for identifying the CDEs, while collaborating with Subject Matter Experts (SMEs).

The Worker is directly responsible for ensuring that their CDEs are integrated with the Data Quality Management program.

Functional responsibilities:

The worker must have excellent communication skills both written and oral, solid experience with the integration of the core modules within the PeopleSoft HRMS 8.8 application (HRMS, Base Benefits, Benefits Administration, Pension Administration, Payroll), including experience researching processing requirements between other systems - both upstream and downstream. This worker must be equally confident conversing with top level management and developers. Finally, the worker must be confident having detailed conversations with the users at the functional level, with developers at the technical level, and be able to accurately read PeopleCode, write SQL, and analyze data.

The ideal candidate should have experience on data cleansing projects prior to a conversion, has been a hands-on project team lead, and have substantial experience as a functional resource in the Pension Administration module of PeopleSoft application.
