• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Operations, Sales, Marketing, Finance, Tech) to understand business needs, define data requirements, and translate them into analytical solutions.
• Dive into large datasets to identify trends, diagnose issues, and uncover opportunities that inform decision-making and drive performance.
• Validate existing models against actual results, recommending improvements to enhance forecasting and accuracy.
• Build financial and operational reporting models in Excel, with the potential to support future automation in partnership with Tech.
• Support testing, experimentation, and implementation of operational changes, using data to validate assumptions, measure results, and inform iteration.
• Translate complex data into executive-level insights, presenting findings to leadership to influence strategy and outcomes.
• Identify gaps and opportunities in current reporting and analytics practices, recommending enhancements for scalability and impact.
• Establish and maintain documentation for reporting logic, data sources, and assumptions to promote transparency and knowledge sharing.

• Detail-oriented with a high standard for accuracy
• Intellectually curious and motivated to solve complex business problems
• Strong multitasking skills and ability to manage multiple streams of work at once
