Requirements:

• 3–6 years of hands-on experience as a Data Analyst, including proven leadership experience; prior experience managing or professionally leading analysts is strongly preferred, while exceptional senior individual contributors with demonstrated leadership potential will also be considered
• Proven ability to work responsibly in production-sensitive environments, remain composed under pressure, contain complex operational situations, and drive clear, practical resolution across teams
• Proficiency in Python and core data libraries (pandas, NumPy, visualization and stats packages)
• Strong SQL skills and experience working with large datasets in production
• Proficiency in leveraging LLM-based tools as part of day-to-day work
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills
