Senior Data Intelligence Analyst – Databricks & Enterprise Reporting

Support the evolution of Albemarle’s analytics landscape beyond traditional enterprise reporting by helping define and establish how Databricks and AI-powered analytics capabilities are implemented at scale across Finance and Supply Chain. 

Role Overview 

This is a senior, enterprise-facing analytics architecture and AI enablement role within Albemarle’s Corporate Reporting & Analytics CoE.
