• Solution Development: Design, develop, and implement robust data analytics and dashboarding solutions that provide clear, actionable insights into operational performance and efficiency.
• Stakeholder Engagement: Build and maintain strong, effective working relationships with Operations stakeholders at all levels, conducting interviews to deeply understand business functions, pain points, and risks from the user’s perspective.
• Program Management: Contribute to the delivery and management of technical data programs across multiple businesses and geographies.
• Change Leadership: Drive change within a collaborative, agile team environment and adapt to unexpected requirement changes and tight deadlines.
