- Support ad hoc business reviews focused on key business questions and areas of opportunity, providing rigorous and timely analysis to help drive progress
- Deliver hands-on analysis using SQL, Power BI, and Python/R, ensuring outputs are robust, scalable, and actionable
- Translate complex data into clear, compelling narratives tailored to different audiences, including senior leadership
- Collaborate with data engineering and product teams to ensure data infrastructure supports analytical needs

- Promote best practices in analytics, data storytelling, and stakeholder engagement across the team
- Stay abreast of industry trends, tools, and methodologies to continuously evolve the team's capabilities
