• Discussing data requirements for different quantitative models
• Making an inventory of the relevant databases within the bank and gaining access to them

• Devising and applying data quality analyzes (e.g., identifying trends over time, missing values, and extreme values)
• Visualize data by means of interactive dashboards
• Investigating the plausibility of the new data
• Developing data lakes and pipelines in Microsoft Azure, AWS or Hadoop
• Documenting the data sourcing process and descriptive statistics whilst discussing this with the business units

Furthermore, you will be the main point of contact for different stakeholders who would like to understand the data as well as you do.
