About This Opportunity

CTI Staffing is partnering with a leading financial services organization to find a Data Conversion Systems Analyst for their retirement/defined contribution conversion team based in Smithfield, RI.

This team is responsible for onboarding incoming retirement plan data — taking external records from new plan sponsors and accurately mapping them into the organization's internal systems. It's detail-intensive, high-accountability work that sits at the intersection of data analysis and the retirement/investment domain, partnering closely with on-shore and off-shore development teams to deliver conversions on time and on budget.

What You'll Do

Receive inbound external data records and create the technical conversion specifications that map them to internal system formats
Serve as the primary liaison and advocate for on-shore and off-shore developers throughout each conversion
Contribute technical detail to conversion strategy documents that augment business requirements
Support the accurate creation, validation, and loading of data into production systems
Provide systems support and mentorship to the broader project team
Manage multiple concurrent conversion projects against timeline and budget goals
Troubleshoot data feeds and resolve conversion issues end to end
Own the quality and accuracy of your deliverables under senior mentorship

Specialist-level Microsoft Excel, with a solid grasp of Word and Access
