• Deliver clear, concise, timely reports and presentations for your manager, stakeholders, and senior leaders.
• Continuously develop and demonstrate improved analytics methodologies.
• Responsible for deep insights, using your analytic toolkit to drive business results through data.
• Support day-to-day requests for data analysis such as decision support, KPI's and provide quality assurance on master data use.

Who- the Candidate:

• Bachelor's degree in Business, Economics, Finance, Supply Chain, or a related field.
• Strong analytical skills with experience in business operations related to inventory management.
• Proficiency in working with large and complex data sets using Excel, SQL, and Power BI.
• 1-2 years of experience in business analysis or delivering insights.
• Minimum 1 year of experience in data mining and working with large relational databases, using advanced data extraction and manipulation tools.
• Practical experience in SQL with at least 1 year of hands-on work.
