Strategic Initiatives Analyst

Avis Budget Group • Parsippany, NJ

2d • $70,000 - $80,000 • Onsite

About The Position

The Transformation team drives cross-functional initiatives spanning Operations, Customer Experience, IT, Fleet, and more. This analyst will support the Strategic Initiatives Manager across multiple concurrent workstreams —keeping trackers current, building first-draft materials for senior stakeholders, supporting the corresponding teams, and ‘making sense’ of data to test our hypotheses.

Requirements

• Strong written and verbal communication skills; comfortable presenting to and following up with cross-functional partners
• Genuine curiosity — willing to ask questions, including basic ones, rather than guessing or staying stuck
• Attention to detail balanced with the ability to zoom out and see how pieces connect across initiatives
• Comfort with ambiguity and shifting priorities across multiple simultaneous projects
• Proficiency in Excel/PowerPoint; willingness to learn AI-assisted data tools and dashboarding platforms
• Bachelor's degree in Business, Analytics, Operations, or related field (or equivalent experience)

Nice To Haves

• working knowledge of SQL queries and Tableau or similar data visualization tools is a PLUS

Responsibilities

• Use available AI/analytics tools to pull, validate, and shape data into insights that prove or reject current hypotheses
• Flag inconsistencies or gaps in the data rather than passing them through unchecked
• Interpret data to surface what matters — strong judgment on what a number is actually saying is essential
• Maintain recurring trackers across active initiatives (rollout tracking, issue logs, project status)
• Support multiple concurrent, non-linear workstreams — comfortable re-prioritizing as initiatives shift rather than expecting a single sequential project
• Draft first-pass executive materials (decks, one-pagers) for the manager to refine
• Work directly with stakeholders across Operations, IT, CX, and vendor partners to gather input and follow up on action items
• See how a given workstream connects to the broader initiative portfolio, not just its own scope — surfacing dependencies or overlaps to the manager
• Communicate clearly and professionally with stakeholders at varying levels, including senior leadership

Benefits

• Access to Medical, Dental, Vision, Life and Disability insurance
• Eligible to elect other voluntary benefits including: Group Auto Insurance, Group Home Insurance, Pet Insurance, Legal Assistance, Identity Theft Protection, FSA, Accident Insurance, Critical Illness Insurance, and additional life insurance coverages
• 401(k) Retirement Plan with company matched contributions
• Full training to learn the business and enhance professional skills
• Employee discounts, including discounted prices on the purchase of Avis/Budget cars
• Access to an Employee Assistance Program for services including counseling, financial and legal consultation, referrals for care service and more
