Define scope, deliverables, milestones, and analytical methods with stakeholders; manage dependencies and risks; and deliver predictive analytics, forecasts, workforce intelligence, executive reporting, and business intelligence solutions that inform workforce and hiring decisions.
• Ensure the integrity, accuracy, governance, validation, and reconciliation of Talent Acquisition, recruitment, retention, workforce, HRIS, ATS, and business intelligence data, ensuring executive reporting, dashboards, and workforce metrics remain accurate, consistent, and aligned across multiple systems, platforms, and data sources.
