You will operate and enhance Global Finance data science projects in production on a monthly basis, with a focus on Predictive Financial Intelligence and forecasting. You will build automated data pipelines using finance source systems, including SAP ERP and SAP S/4HANA, and platforms such as Databricks. You will also help transition proofs of concept into reliable production solutions, incorporate stakeholder feedback, develop performance tracking Power BI dashboards, and integrate conversational analytics into dashboards and applications.

Major Duties & Responsibilities

• Develop and automate data processing and modeling pipelines for large datasets from finance and ERP systems, including SAP HANA and SAP BW.
• Write scalable, production-grade Python code.
• Run and maintain data science projects in production on a monthly basis, incorporating enhancements based on evolving business needs and stakeholder feedback.
• Develop data science solutions by translating business problems into analytical approaches, processing data, identifying trends and patterns, generating insights, and communicating findings.
• Implement machine learning and statistical models for predictive analytics, time series forecasting, decision support, Generative AI, and natural language processing use cases.
• Develop Power BI dashboards and production-grade data models that translate analytical outputs into actionable business insights.
• Deploy analytical models into production and ensure adherence to requirements and standards, including version control and documentation.
• Help migrate existing Predictive Financial Intelligence projects to the Databricks production environment.
• Partner with Data Scientists, Data Engineers, Finance Analysts, ML Engineers, and stakeholders across Global Finance.
• Present results and explain complex analyses and data pipelines clearly to senior stakeholders.
• Understand and apply finance master data, Common Information Model (CIM) elements, attributes, mappings, and organizational, geographic, product, and reporting hierarchies in analytical solutions.
• Work effectively across time zones in an agile environment, balancing priorities and deadlines while fostering collaboration, innovation, and inclusion.
• Develop a strong understanding of J&J’s business, finance terminology, processes, and data landscape.
  
  

Technical Requirements

• Strong experience writing production-grade Python code and applying software engineering best practices, including modular programming, version control, and documentation.
• Hands-on experience with Databricks and cloud platforms such as AWS or Azure.
• Experience using SQL and PySpark to acquire, transform, and analyze data, with knowledge of data warehouses and ERP systems such as SAP S/4HANA.
• Interest to develop understanding of finance master data and the Common Information Model (CIM), including key data elements, attributes, mappings, and hierarchies used across financial reporting and analytics.
• Experience developing production-grade data pipelines and data models and taking analytical models from proof of concept to production deployment.
