- Comfort working with large, complex datasets and modern data environments

Why This Role?:
You’ll join a forwardâthinking, highly collaborative, and dataâdriven team where analytics is truly embedded in every strategic decision.

You’ll have the opportunity to:

Build predictive models that directly influence operational and strategic outcomes;
