  • Conduct exploratory analysis to uncover trends, risks, and opportunities within the automotive market
  • Communicate model insights and complex technical concepts in a way that business partners can easily understand and act upon

  • Provide ad-hoc analysis and reporting on sales planning, forecasting and data insights’ related request

Preferred Qualifications

  • Strong analytical and quantitative skills with the ability to analyze complex data sets and generate actionable insights
  • Strong proficiency in Salesforce and Tableau is highly preferred
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills to effectively collaborate with cross-functional teams and present new solutions and analysis results to stakeholders
