• Drive Operational Excellence: Proactively identify friction and process bottlenecks across the organization, using quantitative analysis to drive sustainable operational solutions.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Must be pursuing or have recently completed a bachelor’s or master’s degree in Business Operations, Business Analytics, or a related field.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience with Business Analytics and Data Visualization: Ability to structure ambiguous operational problems, manipulate large datasets, and present data visually to influence decisions.
• Enterprise Data Tooling: Exposure to querying and working within modern data and analytics platforms (e.g., Salesforce, Oracle, Palantir Foundry, Databricks, SQL, or equivalent enterprise data environments).
• High Fluency in Excel & PowerPoint: Capability in Excel (modeling, pivot tables, data manipulation) and PowerPoint (building polished narrative decks).
