  • Lead market research initiatives to identify emerging trends, customer behaviors, and competitive positioning, and translate findings into comprehensive reports and presentations.
  • Develop and publish periodic trend reports, highlighting actionable insights for stakeholders across the organization and driving thought leadership in the industry.
  • Ensure exceptional clarity in master data descriptions, making them comprehensible for stakeholders.
  • Design and implement predictive models, including churn prediction and revenue forecasting, to guide strategic business decisions.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate data insights into broader business strategies and operational processes.
  • Mentor and develop junior analysts, fostering a culture of learning and innovation within the team.

  • Minimum of 7 years of experience in data analysis with an extensive background in data management practices.
  • Proficient in data analytics tools and programming languages (Python, SQL, R, etc.) and experience with relevant machine learning libraries.
  • Strong problem-solving capabilities, with an ability to manage complex data sets.
  • Exceptional communication skills, capable of presenting insights and data narratives effectively to diverse stakeholders.
