- Apply rigorous and documented data validation techniques to ensure work is accurate and error-free before submission.
- Clearly articulate the analysis approach and methodology, justifying decisions with relevant business context (the "why") rather than only focusing on technical implementation.
Strategic Communication & Partnership
- Articulate clear and concise takeaways in verbal and written communication.
- Simplify complex technical concepts and data narratives for non-technical stakeholders, fostering organizational clarity and alignment.
- Provide proactive partnership by identifying opportunities to contribute data expertise or analysis, even when not explicitly assigned.
The ideal candidate

- Team Collaboration: Ability to work effectively within a dynamic team environment and closely collaborate with technical and non-technical stakeholders across different departments.
- Proficient in SQL (required for data extraction and manipulation).
- Proficient in data visualization tools (e.g., Tableau, Looker, Power BI).
- Strong foundational skills in data analysis and interpretation.
- Bachelor’s or master’s degree from an accredited university.
- 1-3 years of professional or internship experience in data analysis, business intelligence, or a related technical field.
