Partner with the Data & Analytics team to enhance reporting, automation, and data governance frameworks.
Identify and execute opportunities for process improvement and operational efficiency through digital tools and AI technologies.
Communicate technical concepts in clear, business-oriented language to diverse stakeholders.
Lead, mentor, and develop a newly formed team of 5–6 resources, including Business Analysts, SAP Analysts, and a Data Analytics professional.
Manage relationships with technology vendors, system integrators, and implementation partners, ensuring optimal delivery and value.
Support a global enterprise footprint, including potential international collaboration and travel (Europe, South America).

Strong understanding of enterprise system integrations, data management, and reporting frameworks.
Familiarity with AI-enabled applications, analytics platforms, and automation tools preferred.
Demonstrated success managing teams, external vendors, and integration partners.
