• Lead storytelling sessions and presentations with key leaders and stakeholders, communicating insights clearly and effectively.
• Build strong relationships across the business to stay plugged into evolving priorities and ensure analytics stay relevant and impactful.

About you:

• Four-year degree or equivalent experience
