* Position Summary
**

This position is responsible for the reliable delivery and continuous improvement of the company’s recurring reporting. The analyst will own a portfolio of recurring reports and analyses used by leaders across the organization, ensuring every deliverable is accurate and delivered on schedule. The role also includes building and maintaining automated workflows that replace manual processes, improving efficiency and accuracy.

The position combines technical development with operational ownership. The analyst will automate processes where possible, document workflows so they can be supported by others, and exercise sound judgment in determining when to resolve issues independently and when to elevate. The role works closely with analysts across the department and with leaders throughout the company, and offers significant opportunity for professional growth for the right candidate.

* What You’ll Do
**

• Own recurring reports and deliverables from start to finish, making sure they go out accurately and on schedule.
• Build, maintain, and troubleshoot automated reporting workflows using SQL and scripting tools.
• Monitor automated processes, diagnose failures, and fix routine issues quickly.
• Recognize when a problem calls for escalation, such as a logic change, a new data source, or a rebuild, and bring it to the right person with clear context.
• Document your processes and automations thoroughly enough that a teammate could run or fix them without you.
• Respond to ad hoc requests from across the business, turning loosely defined questions into clear, useful analysis.
• Explain numbers and findings clearly to non-technical audiences, including senior executives.
