  • Design and develop new reports and dashboards that provide meaningful insights and support decision-making
  • Define and develop metrics to measure operational health and excellence across organizations and initiatives
  • Conduct deep-dive analyses using SQL and BI tools to identify trends, patterns, and insights
  • Build interactive dashboards and reports using Power BI, Tableau, and/or JavaScript-based tools
  •   Maintain and improve the integrity and reliability of internal and external data sources; collaborate with stakeholders to capture additional data and ensure accuracy and consistency
  •   Regularly prepare reports and presentations that summarize findings, provide actionable insights, and track the impact of implemented strategies
  • Effectively communicate insights and recommendations to influence decision-making and drive growth

Skills you bring:

  • Demonstrated exceptional oral and written communication skills.
  • The ability to work independently and in a team environment.
  • The ability to work effectively across functions, levels and disciplines.
  • Strong problem solving and critical thinking skills.
  • Superior team-working skills, and a desire to learn, contribute, and explore.
  • Experience with Snowflake, Databricks, Kafka, Flume, Spark, or Flink is a plus
  • Familiarity with Agile methodologies and working within Agile Teams
  • Experience with Jira for tracking work
