Your Impact

You will focus on the development of advanced analytics models to optimize underlying business problems.

In this role, you'll help shape the future of what data-driven organizations look like, drive processes for extracting and use that data in creative ways.

Additionally, you will review, support and advise on the day-to-day analytics requirements of clients’ key operational processes while continually improving the impact of these processes.
