We are seeking a Business Analyst with data migration experience to analyze and triage data migration testing results. The testing phase is complete, and all scripts for the data migration have been written. The original data mapping and requirements have also been finalized. We need a Business Analyst who can review the script results, identify discrepancies, and determine necessary changes to the data mapping requirements. This role involves working closely with both the business side to refine requirements and the technical team managing the data warehouse. While prior testing experience is not required, as the scripts are already in place, the ideal candidate should be able to understand why discrepancies exist and revise the requirements accordingly.
