Projects may span multiple business functions and focus areas, including data and analytics strategy, operating model evolution, AI enablement, and enterprise capability development. This role sits between analytics teams and senior leadership, acting as a translator, strategist, and recommendation driver.

• Translate business strategy, stakeholder needs, and analytical insights into clear problem statements, options, and actionable recommendations
• Partner closely with analytics, data, technology, and business teams to develop a strong fact base and understand key drivers and constraints
• Synthesize qualitative and quantitative inputs to identify trends, risks, and opportunities
• Develop executive‑ready presentation materials that clearly articulate insights, tradeoffs, and recommended paths forward
• Facilitate stakeholder discussions to clarify objectives, surface pain points, and align on success criteria

• Operate effectively in ambiguous problem spaces, proactively structuring work and refining scope as new information emerges
• Manage workstream timelines and deliverables, escalating risks and dependencies as appropriate
• Collaborate closely with Data Strategy leaders, analytics partners, and other project team members to drive initiatives to completion

• Demonstrated ability to operate in ambiguity and structure complex, open‑ended problems
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with experience influencing senior stakeholders
• Proven ability to translate data and analysis into insights and strategic recommendations
• Data‑literate and analytically credible, with the ability to interpret findings and challenge assumptions without being responsible for hands‑on coding or model development

• Experience developing executive‑level presentations and storytelling grounded in data

• Experience working in or with data, analytics, or technology‑enabled organizations
• Financial services or large enterprise experience preferred, but not required
