  • Create impactful reports, dashboards, and data visualizations to communicate insights clearly to internal stakeholders.
  • Collaborate with Business Development, Product, and Development teams to gather requirements and deliver data-driven proof-of-concept (PoC) solutions.
  • Conduct exploratory data analysis (EDA) and contribute to data quality assessments to ensure data accuracy, completeness, and reliability, in collaboration with data engineers.
  • Conduct ad-hoc analyses and investigative deep dives to address specific operational challenges or identify root causes of anomalies.
  • Develop forecasting models and data-driven simulations to predict operational performance and demand trends.
  • Stay abreast of industry developments and emerging analytics practices to continuously bring innovative data solutions to operational problems.
  • Communicate findings and model outcomes through data storytelling and visualizations for internal stakeholders.

  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills, especially in cross-functional teams.
  • Good organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities effectively.
  • Familiarity with Databricks or similar big data platforms is a plus.
