Responsibilities
Data Cleansing and Standardization

Use Excel formulas, scripts, or manual review as needed. This ensures high-quality data is migrated into Oracle systems, reducing errors and rework.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in data management, information systems, business, or a related field.
• 3 years of experience in data cleaning or data migration, though a relevant academic background (e.g., coursework or degree in data science, information systems, or a related field) may substitute for some of this experience.

• Demonstrated ability to identify and resolve data inconsistencies across systems.
• Excellent attention to detail and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to work independently and manage multiple data tasks simultaneously.
