Senior Business Analyst

Not Disclosed

Job Description & Details

Senior Business Analyst role focused on metadata, data governance, and stakeholder‑driven analytics. It’s a remote‑first gig for anyone based in Texas, so you’ll be collaborating with Austin‑based teams while never leaving your home office.

What You'll Actually Be Doing

You’ll spend most of your day pulling requirements from business owners, translating them into data models, and mapping lineage across multiple data warehouses. Expect to write complex SQL queries to validate data quality, create glossaries, and surface gaps in the data catalog. You’ll also own the communication loop—running workshops, delivering status reports, and coaching less‑experienced analysts on data literacy.

The Core Tech Stack

The non‑negotiables are strong SQL chops and a deep understanding of metadata management tools like Informatica EDC/Axon. The team relies on those platforms to enforce data governance policies, so you need to know how to trace lineage, define data quality rules, and document business vocabularies. A background in BI/DW (think Snowflake, Redshift, or similar) and experience with healthcare data standards (HHS) will make your day easier because the domain is heavily regulated.

Interview Expectations

  1. “Walk me through how you’d design a data lineage diagram for a new source system feeding an existing data warehouse.” They’re looking for a step‑by‑step on source profiling, mapping to business entities, and how you’d capture that in EDC/Axon.
  2. “Give an example of a tricky SQL performance issue you solved in a reporting environment.” Expect them to probe your indexing strategy, query refactoring, and how you validated results with business users.

Application Advice

Tailor your resume to mirror the exact phrasing used in the posting: “metadata analysis,” “data lineage,” “SQL,” “stakeholder management,” and “data governance.” Highlight any Informatica EDC/Axon projects and, if you’ve touched healthcare data, surface that prominently. Drop the buzzwords—use concrete metrics (e.g., reduced data‑quality incidents by 30%). A short cover note that mentions you’re Texas‑based and comfortable with remote collaboration will also help you pass the ATS.
