About The Position

Experience identifying and implementing automation to reduce manual, ad-hoc work in reporting processes
Strong experience with dashboarding/BI tools (e.g., Tableau); familiarity with data warehousing concepts and modern data stacks
Demonstrated ability to develop and mentor junior team members
Strong track record of managing stakeholder relationships and leading cross-functional initiatives independently
