• Develop automated processes, reporting and visualizations leveraging digital tools (e.g., Alteryx for data wrangling, UIPath for automation, Baseline for operational workflows) to reduce manual touchpoints and accelerate insights.
• Participate on project teams and operating forums as the analytical lead; define measurement plans, success metrics, baselines, and control charts to ensure disciplined execution and sustained benefits.

• Elevate data literacy across Operations by teaching teams how to interpret metrics, detect signal vs. noise, and apply analytical methods (e.g., trend, cohort, and root-cause analyses) to make better, faster decisions; build practical guidance on data definitions, quality standards, and visualization best practices.

What will help you succeed

• A number of years experience in operations analytics, business planning or process reengineering within complex environments; financial services or large-scale operations experience is a plus.
