The Senior Analyst will maintain a high level of data quality within the system through monthly data validations, ongoing hierarchy management and company-wide reporting initiatives. The Analyst will establish strong relationships with the user community, and engage other Finance teams such as Reporting and Tax, in order to provide a high level of support and to ensure the end user community understands how best to efficiently use Hyperion applications.
