  • Utilize advanced analytics techniques (e.g., statistical modeling, machine learning) to derive insights from large datasets.

  • Perform data wrangling, data cleaning, and data transformation tasks to prepare data for analysis.

• Technology & Tools:

  • Use a variety of data analytics tools (e.g., SQL, Python, R, Tableau, Power BI, etc.) to deliver insights and reporting.

  • Implement and optimize cloud-based data solutions (e.g., AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure).

  • Stay up-to-date with industry trends and emerging technologies in data analytics.

• Training & Knowledge Transfer:

  • Train and mentor client teams on data analytics best practices, tools, and techniques.

  • Provide documentation and knowledge transfer for ongoing support and maintenance of analytics solutions.

• Project Management & Communication:

  • Manage multiple client projects simultaneously, ensuring timely delivery and high-quality results.

  • Communicate complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders in a clear and understandable manner.

  • Collaborate with internal teams (e.g., data engineers, business analysts, project managers) to deliver comprehensive solutions.
