About the Opportunity
A financial services organization is seeking an intermediate Data Analyst to lead an application integrity scoring initiative focused on fraud detection, data quality and risk identification. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys exploring complex datasets, questioning what the data is showing and translating patterns into practical business rules.

• You’ll analyze historical application data to uncover anomalies, inconsistent fields and unusual behavioural patterns
• You’ll develop approximately 25 to 100 testable rules that support an application integrity scoring model
• You’ll use Excel and SQL to profile data, validate findings and investigate potential risk indicators
• You’ll design scoring logic, severity levels and action thresholds based on identified patterns
• You’ll collaborate with business, compliance and technical teams to document requirements and support implementation
• You’ll contribute to dashboards, audit trails and reporting used by risk and management teams

Skills and Qualifications
• 3+ years of experience in data analysis, business intelligence or a related analytical role
• Strong SQL skills, with Trino or Hive experience considered an asset
• Advanced Excel skills and the ability to interpret, challenge and communicate data findings
