Use analytical tools and programming languages—such as Python, Structured Query Language (SQL), Power BI, SAS, Oracle, and other data analytics platforms—to conduct research, analysis, and model-development projects. Apply statistical, mathematical, forecasting, predictive, machine-learning, data-mining, and visualization techniques to identify trends, evaluate data, and support decisions. Assess data sources, data flows, system dependencies, and relationships to help develop logical and physical data models. Identify data gaps, deficiencies, and process shortfalls; recommend improvements and implement approved updates to data architecture and reporting processes. Build automated reports, dashboards, and data-visualization products that are clear, intuitive, and tailored to customer and leadership needs. Communicate technical results, findings, and actionable recommendations through presentations, reports, dashboards, and briefings for audiences with varying levels of technical expertise. Collaborate with process owners, analysts, and other stakeholders to understand business challenges, define data requirements, and develop solutions. Gather user feedback throughout dashboard and reporting development and refine products to improve usability and value. Develop mathematical and statistical models to support evaluations, research studies, and operations-research analyses involving diverse and complex data sources. Participate in working groups, meetings, conferences, and other forums focused on data analytics, process improvement, technology, and decision support.
