As the lead analyst on the team, projects might include: generating new reports for specific lines of business, overseeing and managing various internal and NHL-facing data exports, supporting Financial audits, deploying collective models to drive business-critical decisions related to business execution, and evaluating existing workflows while identifying opportunities for automation.
