Payments- Data Architect (CARI) Senior Associate

Job responsibilities Partner with Finance and business stakeholders to solve problems using strong business and data knowledge, disciplined analysis, and clear communication. Deliver fast‑turnaround insights for initiatives, ad hoc requests, and urgent "fire drills," while maintaining quality and transparency around assumptions and limitations. Own ambiguous, non‑routine requests where requirements may be incomplete and the solution path is not obvious. Produce strong first‑pass deliverables quickly (the "80% rule") and iterate rapidly based on feedback and new information. Conduct deep‑dive research into underlying data (definitions, trends, behaviors, code/flag logic, and compilation methods) to ensure accuracy and readiness for high‑visibility work. Continuously reprioritize as business needs shift; manage time effectively to maintain throughput in a fast‑paced environment. Operate within a shared analyst pool by supporting teammates when demand spikes and helping maintain consistent service levels across requests. Identify and drive improvements by enhancing, automating, simplifying, and strengthening processes and outputs; challenge the status‑quo constructively. Apply analytical rigor and attention to detail: validate findings, document sources, and clearly communicate implications. Maintain team‑first mindset: accountable individually while committed to shared outcomes and supporting others when needed. Show continuous improvement orientation: consistently look for incremental ways to add value beyond maintaining the status‑quo.
