• Build and maintain interactive dashboards and executive-ready visual narratives in Tableau and Qlik Sense, optimized for senior consumption, repeatable governance, and auditability
• Establish and execute data quality controls with end-to-end audit trails, including reconciliations, exception monitoring, and clear escalation paths for data integrity issues impacting risk reporting
• Deliver operational insights by identifying trends, outliers, and performance drivers, and translate findings into concise, management-ready materials and recommendations
• Drive alignment across partners in Risk Operations, Technology, and Data/Product to prioritize requirements, manage dependencies, and deliver against timelines without compromising control standards
• Prepare and present materials for senior management, including storyline development, clear articulation of assumptions and limitations, and tailored messaging by stakeholder audience to support decision-making

Required qualifications, capabilities, and skills

• Formal training or certification on analytics or data engineering concepts 
• Minimum 5 years of applied experience in analytics, reporting, risk management, or a related discipline 
• Demonstrated hands-on experience building and owning dashboard products for senior stakeholders, with accountability for requirements, usability, adoption, and change management
• Advanced SQL skills, including the ability to write efficient queries, validate results, and support reporting-grade metric construction
• Hands-on experience with Tableau and Qlik Sense, including proficiency in semantic consistency, visual design standards, performance optimization, and access controls
• Strong data modeling and analytical capabilities, including the ability to structure data for reporting, manage metric definitions, and develop decision-useful insights grounded in business context
• Controls mindset and execution rigor, including the ability to design and operate data quality checks, document assumptions, and maintain consistency suitable for management reporting
• Strong delivery discipline, with the ability to manage competing priorities, drive clear scope decisions, and deliver on agreed timelines through effective stakeholder coordination
• Strong verbal and written communication skills, including the ability to synthesize executive-level narratives and adapt messaging for diverse stakeholder audiences

Preferred qualifications, capabilities, and skills

• Experience with Sigma or ThoughtSpot, particularly in supporting self-service analytics and governed semantic layers
