Identify valuable views and data products for business intelligence (BI) users, analytics teams, marketers, strategy teams, and other analysts.
Use and analyze data from multiple large-scale data warehouses and present statistically strong analysis to a wide range of business stakeholders.
Drive continuous improvements to our products, tools, and processes by sharing learnings, constructive feedback, and input with internal technical and analytics teams.
Demonstrate a strong understanding of the analytics needs of the international business, the global business context of the data, and the data/tooling landscape and roadmap.
Design data models to best support analytics needs of the business, consistent with data strategy principles.
Partner with Architecture and Governance teams to maintain accurate documentation.
Automate manual analysis processes and present back on time and resource gains.
Independently learn new technologies to best identify valuable data products for the business as well as resolve data accuracy and report production issues.
