• Perform advanced data mining and manipulation using Excel and other tools of choice; create, clean, and manage large datasets; build and edit Power BI dashboards and reports; and extract meaningful insights, trends, and issues from complex data.

• Read and interpret basic computer code logic to support solution design, troubleshooting, and collaboration with technical teams.

• Analyze data to identify patterns, anomalies, and opportunities for cost or process optimization within a technology services environment.

• Summarize findings and recommendations in clear, concise communications and presentations; maintain a big-picture perspective and connect individual issues and analyses to the organization's strategic goals.
