This role requires a high degree of intellectual curiosity, analytical rigor, and independent problem solving. The successful candidate will be expected to evaluate emerging issues, determine appropriate analytical methodologies, quantify customer and financial impacts, and provide actionable recommendations with limited direction. They must be able to navigate ambiguity, develop sound analytical frameworks, and communicate complex findings in a clear, concise, and compelling manner.

Success in this role requires the ability to move beyond reporting results to developing executive-ready narratives that help leaders understand complex issues, evaluate tradeoffs, assess risks, and make informed business decisions. The ideal candidate combines strong technical and analytical skills with exceptional storytelling abilities and a passion for translating data into meaningful business outcomes.

• Support fee-related analyses, customer impact assessments, and business initiatives by identifying trends, risks, and opportunities through data.
• Analyze large and complex datasets to identify actionable insights that improve business performance, customer outcomes, and operational effectiveness.
• Translate business questions into analytical approaches, requirements, and deliverables while collaborating with technology and development partners to implement solutions.
• Develop reporting, dashboards, and analyses that provide meaningful insights while balancing strategic and tactical business needs.
• Ensure data integrity, analytical accuracy, and methodological soundness through rigorous testing, validation, and quality assurance processes.
• Transform complex analyses into clear, concise, and compelling executive-ready narratives that explain what happened, why it matters, the magnitude of impact, associated risks, and recommended actions.
• Create and deliver presentations and communications tailored to executive audiences, simplifying complex concepts into easily consumable insights and recommendations.
• Proactively identify opportunities to improve analytical processes, business decisions, customer outcomes, and operational performance.
• Collaborate across business, risk, compliance, operations, technology, and analytics teams to ensure accurate and effective analysis and communication.
• Manage multiple priorities and projects simultaneously in a fast-paced environment while maintaining a high degree of quality and attention to detail.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Business, Finance, Economics, Statistics, Mathematics, Analytics, Computer Science, or a related field.
• 3+ years of professional experience in analytics, business insights, strategy, consulting, financial analysis, risk management, remediation, or a related analytical discipline.

• Experience performing impact assessments, customer remediation evaluations, financial analyses, fee analyses, pricing analyses, or customer impact assessments preferred.
• Strong proficiency in SQL and experience with Python, SAS, R, or similar analytical tools.
• Experience with Tableau, Power BI, or other data visualization platforms.
