About the role

This role turns data into information, information into insight, and insight into action. The incumbent collaborates with business stakeholders to evaluate their need for information, identify potential solutions, gather and analyze data, and present conclusions in a concise and understandable format. The incumbent is expected to become intimately familiar with “the story of the business” as viewed through the lens of data, to champion the adoption of analytics as a tool for organizational change, and to serve as trusted advisors for all levels of management.
