This is a combined role: define what “correct” means for entity resolution and graph outputs, then prove it through structured testing. The position is pivotal because milestone payments are released against acceptance criteria - this role writes them, traces them and validates against them.\n Requirements & traceability - elicit, document and baseline functional and data requirements across ingestion, canonical model, entity resolution and graph serving; maintain a Requirement Traceability Matrix (RTM) from requirement through to test evidence.\n Acceptance criteria ownership - translate SOW stage acceptance criteria into testable, measurable conditions; secure WK agreement on match-quality measures (precision/recall) and NLQ scenarios before build begins.\nTest strategy & planning - define the overall test strategy, quality gates, entry/exit criteria and test data approach for each milestone.\nData quality validation - design and execute tests for data completeness, accuracy, transformation logic, standardization rules and identifier-spine integrity across all six sources.\nEntity resolution validation - build and curate labelled/golden validation samples; evaluate match precision, recall and false-positive rates; validate clustering and Golden Record survivorship logic.\nGraph validation - test node and edge accuracy, source traceability, and multi-hop traversal scenarios against expected paths.\nHuman-in-the-loop coordination - operate and coordinate the SME review workflow, manage the review queue, capture reviewer decisions and feed them back as training/tuning input.\nDefect management - log, triage and track defects with reproducible steps; drive root-cause analysis on data discrepancies; maintain severity classification and closure evidence.\nUAT & sign-off - plan and coordinate user acceptance testing with WK SMEs; assemble milestone acceptance packs and secure written sign-off within the agreed review window.\nRequired Skills & Experience\n\nSkill Area\nSpecific Requirements\n\nBusiness Analysis\nRequirements elicitation, user stories, functional specifications, RTM, data dictionaries, source-to-target mapping documentation\n\nQA / Testing\nTest strategy, test planning, test case design, regression suites, UAT coordination, defect lifecycle management\n\nData Testing\nAdvanced SQL for reconciliation, source-to-target validation, aggregation and business-rule testing, data integrity and constraint checks\n\n Platform\nMicrosoft Fabric (Lakehouse, Delta tables, pipelines), OneLake, SQL analytics endpoints\n\n Domain (advantageous)\nEntity/master data concepts, match precision & recall, data quality dimensions, corporate hierarchy and ownership data\n\n Tools\nTest management platforms (QTest/Jira/ADO), Excel, Postman for API validation, Power BI for validation reporting\n\n Soft Skills\nClient-facing communication, stakeholder facilitation, precision in written acceptance language, structured escalation\n\n6+ years combined Business Analysis and QA experience on data platform or data warehouse programmes\nDemonstrable experience writing acceptance criteria that were used for formal client sign-off\nStrong SQL - able to independently write reconciliation and validation queries\nExperience maintaining a Requirement Traceability Matrix on a regulated or enterprise client engagement\nExperience coordinating UAT with external client stakeholders\nNice-to-Have\nExposure to entity resolution, MDM or data-matching projects\nFamiliarity with Microsoft Fabric or Azure data services\nUnderstanding of graph data structures (nodes, edges, traversal)\nExperience with statistical quality measures (precision, recall, F1)\nKey Deliverables Owned\nRequirement Traceability Matrix (RTM)\nTest Strategy, Test Plans, Test Scenarios and Test Cases\nEntity resolution evaluation results and match-quality reports\nNode/edge accuracy validation evidence\nDefect log, RCA reports and closure evidence\nUAT sign-off and milestone acceptance packs\nDual Role / Complementary Skills\nThis is already a deliberate dual role (BA + QA). The pairing is intentional: the person who defines acceptance criteria is best placed to test against them, creating a tight traceability loop and removing hand-off ambiguity. Complementary overflow: this role can absorb a portion of project-coordination and documentation work alongside the Project Manager (who is at 75% FTE).","description_format":"text","description_chars":4418,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-08T05:07:24Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":42,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.466,"p_room":0.9,"age_days":4,"expected_fill_days":7,"reasons":["conf:0","stale_co","velocity","win:mid","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-12T06:55:09Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/exl-business-analyst-2","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/exl-business-analyst-2.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-12T16:27:44Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":26317,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-13T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":38016},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=38016"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fexl-business-analyst-2"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fexl-business-analyst-2"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fexl-business-analyst-2"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/exl-business-analyst-2\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fexl-business-analyst-2"}]}
