About the Job

As a Data Quality & AI Readiness Product Analyst within the MDM Jobs/Skills Taxonomy team — part of Data Governance & Master Data Management — you will sit at the intersection of data governance, Human Capital technology, and process excellence. You will be a critical enabler of Sanofi's enterprise-wide skills-based organization initiative, ensuring that the skills and jobs data powering Workday's Skills Cloud, Career Hub, and AI-driven talent matching is trusted, complete, and AI-ready.

You will drive proactive risk management, resolve global data quality issues, and ensure our Human Capital data meets Sanofi's AI-Ready Data Framework standards — making it fit to power both operational decisions and the AI-driven innovation that underpins our mission to chase the miracles of science.

Main responsibilities

1. Investigation & Diagnosis Assess and document downstream impact of Skills and Job Architecture data quality issues across payroll processing, management reporting, third-party integrations, and AI/machine learning model inputs

Monitor ongoing adoption of global data standards across regions, business units, and functional teams, with particular focus on Skills and Job Architecture taxonomy data consistency in Workday — proactively detecting and flagging the re-introduction of local deviations, non-standard values, or workarounds

Conduct structured root cause analyses to distinguish isolated errors from systemic issues requiring process or configuration-level intervention

Use Python scripting and SQL to conduct deep-dive data profiling and root cause investigations across Workday and Snowflake data assets

Build reusable investigation toolkits and diagnostic scripts to accelerate root cause analysis and reduce time-to-resolution across recurring issue patterns

Support organizational cloning and data standardization initiatives through fact-based investigation, evidence gathering, and data profiling — ensuring skills data is structured and clean for AI model consumption

Execute Data Analysis and Mapping for Workday Optimization and other relevant projects

1. Data Quality Engineering & Automation

Design and build automated Skills and Job Architecture data quality pipelines using Python to validate, profile, and monitor at scale, integrated into the Data Foundation (Snowflake)

Contribute to the design and implementation of data observability practices — including data lineage tracking, freshness monitoring, and schema validation — across the Skills and Job Architecture data domains

Build automated monitoring dashboards (e.g., Power BI) and alerting mechanisms to proactively surface data quality deviations before they impact downstream systems, enabling early resolution of cloning/standardization conflicts

1. Data Remediation & Execution Develop and execute Python-based remediation scripts and automated correction workflows reducing reliance on manual EIB loads where technically feasible and accelerating remediation

Prepare, validate, and execute data correction actions and remediation loads (EIB, manual)

Partner closely with the Global Process Owner (GPO) and Workday Technology teams to define and implement structural fixes — whether through process redesign, system configuration changes, or governance policy updates — and deliver measurable improvement in priority data quality fields

1. Governance, Risk & Stakeholder Collaboration Serve as a bridge between data operations and technical teams, translating business data quality requirements into actionable technical specifications aligned with MDM standards

Identify and escalate risks to data consistency, AI readiness, and global reporting accuracy at the earliest possible stage

Contribute to AI-Ready Data KPI scoring for the relevant data assets, including DQ rule coverage, quality scoring in Informatica CDGC, metadata cataloging, and data access classification
