Mid-Level Data Specialist (R-00167)
WFA Digital Insight
True Zero Technologies’ Mid‑Level Data Specialist sits at the intersection of data engineering and business analysis, making it a uniquely hands‑on position for anyone who enjoys turning raw datasets into actionable insight. The role demands more than just Excel wizardry; you’ll be responsible for cleaning and transforming data from disparate sources, building interactive dashboards, and conducting root‑cause analysis that directly informs operational improvements. What sets this job apart is the close partnership with Professional Services and Data Engineers, giving you exposure to controlled data migrations, schema mapping, and SDLC documentation—experience that’s rare in a purely reporting‑focused role. Candidates should be comfortable navigating CSV, JSON, and even OSCAL formats while translating technical findings into clear stakeholder presentations.
