• Produce executive-level reporting and dashboardsthat surface portfolio risk, cost variance, milestone status, and coverage gapsin real time
• Identify data gaps, ownership ambiguities, andprocess breakdowns across stakeholder groups and build the mechanisms to fixthem -- trackers, playbooks, operating rhythms, and escalation frameworks
• Partner with cross-functional teams to ensureutility infrastructure and interconnect costs flow accurately into capitalapproval budgets
• Drive automation opportunities acrosshigh-frequency data workflows and define requirements for tooling improvements

What You’ll Need

• Bachelor’sdegree or higher in Data Science, Computer Science, Analytics, Statistics,Engineering, or a related quantitative field (Master’s preferred)
• 5+ years in a data analyst or data-heavy programmanagement role managing large, multi-variable datasets across complexportfolios
• PMP certification or equivalent -- used tostructure ambiguity, not just manage schedules
• Advanced Excel/Sheets and hands-on BI toolexperience (Tableau, Power BI, Quicksight, or similar)
• SQL proficiency; Python a strong plus
• Proven ability to build centralized tracking andreporting infrastructure from scratch across multiple stakeholder groups
