• Communicate complex analytical findings through data visualization, presentations, and clear business recommendations.
• Collaborate with data scientists, data engineers, IT, and other technical teams to improve data quality and analytical processes.
• Support the deployment and monitoring of predictive models within business workflows.
• Identify opportunities to improve analytical methodologies, tools, and business processes.
• Share knowledge and provide guidance or mentorship to less experienced team members when needed.

• Strong knowledge of statistical analysis and quantitative methodologies.
• Advanced experience with Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA).
• Strong understanding of experimental design and hypothesis testing.

• Ability to interpret complex datasets and translate findings into actionable recommendations.
• Python and/or R for statistical programming and data analysis.
• SQL, preferably with Snowflake or Microsoft SQL Server.
• Experience with data integration, transformation, and quality validation.
• Excel and Power BI for data analysis and visualization.
• Experience in data analytics, decision science, statistics, or a related quantitative field.
