  • Continuously improve dashboards based on user feedback, usage insights, and performance optimisation
  • Experiment with GenAI tools and novel approaches to insight generation and delivery.
  • Perform data profiling, cleansing, preparation, and modelling to produce analysis-ready datasets.
  • Develop and maintain data models using dbt to provide transparency and clarity into business metrics.
  • Act as a Tableau and data visualisation specialist, coaching and advising other analysts on best practice.
