We provide our global teams with the resources needed to achieve individual career goals while helping to take science a step beyond by developing solutions for some of the world’s toughest challenges, like protecting the environment, making sure our food is safe or helping find cures for cancer.

DESCRIPTION:

As Analytics Lead – Data Engineering , your focus will be on leading data engineering and the technical implementation and maintenance of analytics infrastructure (e.g. data storage, collection tools, data pipelines, and AI-enabled analytics foundations), building and executing data management processes (e.g. modeling, transformation, and AI-ready data preparation), and applying analytical approaches to performance data (e.g. hypothesis testing and identification of performance drivers). You will also advise the Communications Analytics, Automation, and AI Program Manager on analytics architecture decisions, providing recommendations and translating agreed architectural direction into scalable technical solutions. In addition, you will support the development of AI-enabled analytics workflows, including API-based data integration and emerging analytics use cases. You will also serve as a local coordination point for the Manila-based team, helping coordinate execution across team members, including dependencies, sequencing, and handoffs; supporting team communication and knowledge sharing; and surfacing issues or decisions requiring escalation. Your technical expertise across these areas will help accelerate execution of scalable, reliable analytics capabilities that support decision-making and advance key initiatives within the Communications analytics program. This unique and exciting role will enable you to collaboratively pioneer innovative data-driven approaches within the broader Global Communications function, supporting analytics goals, stakeholder needs, and the continued growth of a vibrant, data-driven culture.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Data Engineering and Analytics Infrastructure: Lead data engineering and technical infrastructure implementation across the analytics ecosystem, including ingestion, APIs, pipelines, transformations, Microsoft Fabric Lakehouse development, storage, orchestration, AI/MCP integrations, technical QA, performance, maintenance, and reusable datasets and shared semantic infrastructure.
