• Analyze datasets to identify trends, anomalies, and actionable insights that support business decision-making.
• Support data validation, quality checks, and reporting accuracy initiatives.
• Translate complex data into clear and consumable business intelligence outputs.

• Work closely with analytics, engineering, business, and leadership teams to support modernization initiatives.
• Assist in defining reporting standards, best practices, and scalable analytics solutions.
• Communicate findings and recommendations effectively to both technical and non-technical audiences.

• Support ongoing modernization of reporting architecture and analytics capabilities.
• Stay current on evolving Databricks, BI, and cloud analytics technologies.
• Identify opportunities to improve reporting efficiency, automation, and data usability.

• 3+ years of experience in data analytics, BI development, reporting, or related data-focused roles.

• Exposure to Databricks or modern cloud-based analytics environments.
