- 3–5 years of experience as a Data Analyst or similar role
- Strong expertise in Advanced Excel (forecasting, modeling, pivots)
- Experience with Power BI (dashboards, reporting)
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
- Experience working with structured, high-volume data
- Understanding of machine learning concepts (collaboration-level; no model building required)
- Excellent communication and stakeholder-facing skills
Nice to Have
- Capacity planning or demand forecasting experience
- Experience in high-volume environments (manufacturing, healthcare, financial services, etc.)
- SQL for data extraction and analysis
Additional Notes
- This is a contract position with high visibility
- Potential for conversion depending on performance and business needs
- Budget may be flexible based on experience and location
