• Demonstrated experience mentoring team members and sharing knowledge on best practices.
• A track record of taking ownership of complex projects and driving adoption of new tools and technologies across an organization.
• Proficiency across multiple relevant languages (e.g., DAX, SQL, Python, and R), rather than just one.
• Knowledge of machine learning and AI concepts and their application to business intelligence.
• Strong problem-solving skills and comfort working independently on complex, ambiguous tasks.

• Stakeholders and team members are enabled through clear documentation, training, and mentorship, increasing confidence and self-service use of data.
• User support requests are handled promptly, with a strong focus on swift and successful resolution.
