Responsibilities

Preparing Data: Use tools like SQL, Python, Excel, Business Objects and Tableau to extract, load, transform, aggregate, and visualize data into meaningful analytics deliverables, tables, and reports. Once preparation is complete, establish a way to automate future preparation activities.

Communicating Results: Clearly communicate findings with charts, graphs, and other visuals and presentations. Take feedback, iterate, and adjust. Ensure partners have the best understanding and support possible to make informed, high-quality decisions.
