- Use your analytics engineering skills to deliver quality, timely, and fit-for-purpose analytical datasets that power downstream applications and decision making
- Liaise with our internal customers to understand their needs and convert them to technical requirements
- Leverage your high-level overview to proactively mitigate risks and expediently resolve blockers
- Provide tools, training, and coordination to stakeholders across the organization
