You will be responsible for providing accurate, time-stamped data, maintaining clear documentation of report logic (e.g., data lineage), and ensuring all reporting outputs adhere to data privacy and security standards. Data Governance & Integrity: Champion data hygiene. Regularly reconcile data discrepancies between Workday and downstream reporting tools (e.g., Looker) to ensure a "single source of truth," minimizing risks during audit cycles.
