Key Responsibilities:

  • Build and maintain Power BI dashboards to support finance reporting
  • Use Python (Pandas/Numpy) for deeper analysis, automation, and data profiling
  • Translate business requirements into analytical outputs and actionable insights
  • Implement data quality checks to ensure accuracy and reliability
  • Support the move toward self-service analytics and improved data literacy
