Overview As a Data Modeler & Functional Data Senior Analyst, your focus would be to partner with D&A Data Foundation team members to create data models for Global projects. This would include independently analysing project data needs, identifying data storage and integration needs/issues, and driving opportunities for data model reuse, satisfying project requirements. Role will advocate Enterprise Architecture, Data Design, D&A standards, and best practices. You will be performing all aspects of Data Modeling working closely with Data Governance, Data Engineering and Data Architecture teams. As a member of the Data Modeling team, you will create data models for very large and complex data applications in public cloud environments directly impacting the design, architecture, and implementation of PepsiCo's flagship data products around topics like Master Data, Finance, Revenue Management, Supply chain, Manufacturing and Logistics. The primary responsibility of this role is to work with Data Product Owners, Data Management Owners, and Data Engineering teams to create physical and logical data models with an extensible philosophy to support future, unknown use cases with minimal rework. You'll be working in a hybrid environment with in-house, on-premises data sources as well as cloud and remote systems. You will establish data design patterns that will drive flexible, scalable, and efficient data models to maximize value and reuse. Responsibilities Complete conceptual, logical and physical data models for any supported platform, including SQL Data Warehouse, EMR, Spark, Data Bricks, Snowflake, Azure Synapse or other Cloud data warehousing technologies.
