  • Exceptional storytelling and communication skills, able to bring data to life and influence senior stakeholders through compelling narratives.
  • Demonstrated ability to quantify and communicate value, linking analytics outputs directly to commercial or operational outcomes.
  • Strong business acumen and curiosity, with an understanding of how analytics drives performance and growth.
  • A collaborative mindset and continuous learning approach, with an interest in emerging data technologies and analytical techniques.

What You’ll Love

  • Partnering with expert teams across the data ecosystem to shape and scale analytical capability.
