• Support consolidation and reporting of operational data and metrics while providing insights and driving measurable results through strong influencing and collaboration skills.
• Partner with business partners to ensure clean and consistent data.
• Develop documentation of reporting and data structure.
• Lead development and enhancement of dashboards and reporting packages to drive improved business results.
