Act as project lead on analytics initiatives—create project plans, manage timelines, coordinate stakeholders, deliver results, and drive adoption of analytics outputs.

Demonstrated experience working directly with business / operations teams to gather requirements, define metrics and deliver insights.
Solid project‑management skills: ability to coordinate analytics projects, manage timelines, deliverables, and stakeholder communication.
Excellent communication skills (verbal and written) with the ability to present technical information to non‑technical stakeholders.
