AI Analyst

JOB SUMMARY

Job Profile Summary/Mission

Support the transition from traditional dashboards and reporting toward AI-enabled analytics. The AI Analyst combines AI tooling with operations domain expertise to provide decision support, automate recurring analytical work, and deliver reliable insight from operational data.

Essential Functions and Core Responsibilities

• Decision support: Conduct root-cause analysis, benchmarking, and ad-hoc investigations in support of operations stakeholders. Apply AI tooling to reach well-supported conclusions more efficiently than conventional analysis alone.
• Data ingestion and curation: Load operations data into analytical systems, identify and address anomalies, and enrich records with domain context through AI-assisted workflows.
• Automation: Automate recurring data preparation, reporting, and analysis tasks. Convert repeated ad-hoc requests into self-service tools.
• AI tooling application: Apply the AI systems, agents, and templates developed by Operations Analytics to deliver insight at scale. Provide structured feedback to inform ongoing improvements.
• Prompt and configuration tuning: Refine prompts and agent configurations to optimize recurring analytical workloads for accuracy, cost, and performance.
• Reporting: Prepare clear, well-supported analytical and technical reports for operations stakeholders that are rigorous enough to inform decisions and accessible enough to act upon.

• Hands-on experience applying LLM-based tools to analytical work beyond general-purpose querying.
• Operations domain knowledge, including an understanding of the distinction between raw instrument readings and validated operational data.
