Itero Group is seeking a Data Quality Specialist to support data validation, correction, and quality assurance efforts within client environments. This role is responsible for reviewing, validating, and correcting existing datasets to ensure accuracy, consistency, compliance with business rules, and overall data integrity. The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, analytical, and comfortable performing both automated and hands-on data correction—including manual updates when needed based on system constraints.

You will identify data integrity issues, perform field-level remediation, document findings, and recommend improvements to upstream data capture processes. This position requires strong attention to detail, structured documentation habits, and the ability to work collaboratively with business stakeholders and subject matter experts.

Key Responsibilities

  • Review and analyze existing datasets to identify inaccuracies, inconsistencies, formatting issues, and missing data fields.

  • Execute data corrections and updates directly within approved client systems and user interfaces.

  • Perform manual data entry when automated or bulk-edit tools are not available.

  • Document recurring issues, trends, root causes, and data reliability patterns.

  • Recommend process and data capture improvements to reduce downstream data quality issues.

  • Provide regular status updates and reporting on correction progress and issue resolution.

  • Collaborate with SMEs and business stakeholders to confirm data expectations and classification rules.

  • Ensure accuracy, compliance, and traceability for all data modifications and remediation activities.

Required Skills & Qualifications

  • Experience performing data validation, cleansing, and correction in enterprise or operational settings.

  • Strong understanding of data quality concepts (referential integrity, formatting standards, deduplication, normalization, etc.).

  • High proficiency with spreadsheets (Excel or Google Sheets), including advanced formulas, VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, conditional logic, filtering, and data verification.

  • Ability to use SQL or related query languages for targeted inspection, filtering, and validation.

  • Ability to follow strict accuracy standards and execute changes without introducing new errors.

  • Strong written communication and documentation capabilities.

  • High attention to detail, methodical work style, and strong accountability for accuracy and completeness.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience working with sensitive or regulated datasets (e.g., healthcare, financial, government).

  • Familiarity with data governance frameworks, quality standards, or validation methodologies.

  • Experience using workflow or issue-tracking tools such as Jira, ServiceNow, Azure DevOps, or Smartsheet.

  • Comfort reviewing field relationships, mappings, and system-level data behavior.

  • Experience with scripting or automation tools (Python, Bash, etc.) for data parsing or remediation when supported.

Tools & Technologies

Candidates should have experience with:

  • Microsoft Excel / Google Sheets for validation, transformation, and structured data review

  • SQL for targeted analysis, verification, and integrity checks

  • Scripting Languages: Python, Bash (when supported)

  • Databases:

    • SQL Server

    • MySQL

    • PostgreSQL

  • UI-driven data entry environments for direct field-level corrections

  • Manual remediation as required by system limitations

  • Client-owned or proprietary systems, ERP platforms, and data administration environments

  • Workflow tools: Jira, ServiceNow, Smartsheet, Azure DevOps

  • Secure access / permission-controlled environments, ensuring compliance during updates

Deliverables & Output Expectations

  • Periodic Data Quality Summary Reports detailing errors, correction volumes, and trend insights.

  • Validated and corrected records updated within client-approved environments.

  • Complete traceability and audit-ready logging of all remediation actions.

  • Documentation of recurring error types, patterns, and data reliability vulnerabilities.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
