Robust analytical, quantitative, and financial modeling skills with a proven ability to synthesize large datasets into actionable executive-level insights.

Exceptional verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to present complex business and technical concepts effectively to senior leadership.

Responsibilities

Lead the end-to-end execution of regular business reviews, including Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs), Monthly Business Reviews (MBRs), and Quarterly Factpacks.
Design and deliver scalable, Tableau-based QBR and reporting frameworks across multiple Routes-to-Market (RTMs). Develop, monitor, and own critical KPIs to dramatically reduce manual reporting effort and enable teams to spend more time driving insights instead of collecting data.
Support high-priority analytics requests, executive reporting needs, and complex analyses. Partner deeply with stakeholders to understand the underlying business problems and provide actionable insights rather than simply fulfilling data requests.
Proactively identify opportunities to automate recurring executive reporting processes (e.g., significantly reducing turnaround times for Factpacks) and replace highly manual workflows (such as partner mapping) with scalable, AI-driven, or automated solutions.
Lead high-value strategic initiatives by structuring complex business problems, conducting rigorous quantitative analysis, and delivering clear recommendations to executive audiences.
Proactively collaborate and exchange information with a diverse set of stakeholders, including executive leaders, to co-create deliverables, drive alignment, and foster a data-driven culture.
