Responsibilities

• Best-in-class solutions – Your primary role will be delivering analytical solutions to the business.

You will also be expected to understand and articulate the business impact of any recommendation.
• Communicate business impact – On the back end of solution development/analysis, you will be expected to explain results of analysis to team members, present to stakeholders in order to drive decisions, and succinctly convey recommendations to meet business needs.
• Data Collection – You will be expected to understand which data we capture today, as well as participate in the development/procurement of future solutions to help capture other necessary data we may not be currently collecting.
• Analytics Advocacy – We embrace the mission and work closely with team members to advance our analytical capabilities.
