Key responsibilities include:
- Producing monthly, quarterly, and annual performance reports.
- Analysing large datasets to identify trends, risks, opportunities, and operational insights.
- Responding to ad-hoc analytical requests from senior stakeholders.
- Creating engaging PowerPoint presentations and management information packs.
- Monitoring data quality and investigating inconsistencies.
- Translating complex data into clear recommendations and actionable insight.
