Your experience

• Demonstrated professional and/or academic projects writing analytic SQL queries (emphasis on SELECTs using JOINs, GROUP BY, window functions, etc., not so much INSERTs/UPDATEs)
• Experience with data visualization
• Ability to effectively communicate findings and recommendations, and connect with a variety of stakeholders

Your personal attributes

• Naturally curious, organized, and analytical
• Truly loves making sense of large amounts of data
• Close attention to detail, process driven, and results-focused
