Importance of the Role

We rely on data to set the direction of our business. In this role you will be relied upon by other team members for your expertise. You will independently solve complex problems, manage project strategies from inception to completion, and champion a team-centric, data-driven culture without needing daily direction.

- Problem Solving & Agility: Identify business issues and implement solutions in swift iterations before they become critical problems. Navigate obstacles effortlessly without impeding agility or execution.
- Self-Service & Evangelism: Build scalable and flexible reporting to be published for self-service data exploration. Champion a data-driven culture at Matic by training the organization to make the best use of available data.
