In addition, you will design, develop, and propose analytical tools, dashboards, and reports using advanced Excel and Business Intelligence platforms such as Power BI, enabling internal clients to access and interpret information effectively. You will work closely with regional Business Intelligence partners to align methodologies and data standards, while maintaining effective communication with key stakeholders to obtain critical business information. As part of this role, you will coordinate and guide a small team of analysts, ensuring quality, consistency, and timely delivery of analytical outputs, while fostering a culture of data accuracy and continuous improvement.
