• Apply descriptive statistics, experimentation and appropriate analytical methods including pre/post analysis, causal impact approaches and basic predictive models to answer business questions
• Create clear, persuasive visualizations, scalable dashboards and automated reporting for technical and non-technical audiences using tools such as Tableau and Looker
