• Implement best practices for data handling, including data cleaning, validation, and transformation.
• Work with cross-functional teams to support data-driven projects and provide analytical expertise.
• Leverage Power Automate to streamline reporting workflows and automate data processes.

Key Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in Data Science, Statistics, Computer Science, or a related field; a Master’s degree is a plus.
• 2-6 years of relevant experience in data analysis and data visualization.
• Proficiency in Power BI with proven experience building reports and dashboards from the ground up.
• Familiarity with other business intelligence tools such as Tableau or similar platforms.
