  • Be an expert storyteller — distill complex data into persuasive narratives that engage and influence both internal and external stakeholders.
  • Own dashboards, performance reporting, and communication to Sales leadership and executive management.
  • Coach and develop your team (senior analysts, category managers) on blending analytic excellence with narrative fluency; establish best practices across the organization.
