This role applies technical and analytical expertise to gather, organize, and interpret information that informs strategies and initiatives. 

Working with teams across the organization (Marketing, Sales & Services, Destination Management, and Operations), this role leads and contributes to a range of insights activities, including maintaining dashboards and reporting, preparing and structuring datasets for analysis, supporting research initiatives, and guiding the collection and synthesis of feedback from visitors, partners, and stakeholders.
