The analyst will be responsible for supporting the development, implementation, and management of end-to-end data analytics solutions (including data dashboards) for the LLF, utilizing tools such as Microsoft Power BI, Google Sheets, and Google App Scripts. Leveraging strong data modeling, visualization, and business analysis skills, the analyst will collaborate with stakeholders to understand requirements and translate them into insightful, actionable dashboards and reports. They will design and maintain scalable data models, automate workflows, ensure integrity of data, and create visually compelling visualizations that drive data-driven decision making across LLF operations. The analyst will be hired with annual contracts that will be renewable for the duration of the LLF and will be based at IsDB HQ in Jeddah, KS.
