The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-paced, collaborative environment, has strong data skills, and is passionate about innovation. Responsibilities include delivering rapid, high-profile analyses using show-level data to support Public Relations & Government Relations teams in EMEA and globally, as well as providing guidance and support to non-technical stakeholders.

Provide actionable insights and clear reporting to support decision-making.
• Technical Development & Workflow Improvement: Develop expertise in the GSR data model, identifying data inconsistencies and recommending improvements to data collection and validation processes. Explore and utilize data tables owned by adjacent business partners to enhance data coverage and integration.
• Data Visualization & Reporting: Analyze structured datasets to develop metrics, dashboards, and trend reports using data visualization tools such as Google Sheets, Looker, Tableau, or similar platforms. Present insights in a clear, accessible manner to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• System & Tool Experimentation: Proactively engage in self-training and experimentation with new tools and technologies to improve analytics workflows and drive innovation.
• Production Finance Team Support: Guide Production Finance executives in Europe and Asia on data access, analysis, and reporting. Respond to requests for data pulls, insights, and custom analyses as needed.
• Data Quality & Issue Resolution: Monitor data integrity and troubleshoot urgent data coverage or quality issues, ensuring the highest standards of accuracy and completeness.
