About the role

Analytical Precision & Data Quality Focus
You have a keen eye for detail and know how to identify patterns, trends, and anomalies. You’re committed to ensuring data accuracy and completeness, and you document your processes clearly to support transparency and repeatability.
Communication & Collaboration Skills
You’re comfortable presenting insights to a variety of stakeholders and contributing to workshops and forums. You understand the importance of clear documentation and thrive in agile, iterative environments where collaboration is key.
