- Develop and present clear, compelling data visualizations using Power BI, Tableau, Looker, or similar platforms to both technical and non‑technical audiences.
- Identify opportunities for cost reduction and efficiency gains by analyzing operational data and recommending process improvements.
- Support data security initiatives by monitoring access controls, performing risk assessments, and contributing to incident response plans.
- Mentor junior analysts, share best practices, and contribute to a culture of continuous learning within the analytics community.
