  • Perform and improve commissions allocation and validation processes
  • Identify operational and strategic opportunities elsewhere in the business, using the same investigate-and-fix approach
  • Analyze data, processes, and stakeholder feedback to identify root causes.
  • Build business cases, evaluate ROI, and recommend practical solutions.
  • Research AI tools and emerging technologies to improve efficiency and decision-making.
  • Lead initiatives from discovery through implementation.
  • Partner with development teams to translate business requirements into scalable solutions.
  • Build dashboards and analyses when needed to support decisions.

  • 1–4 years of experience in strategy, analytics, consulting, engineering, operations or finance.
  • Quantitative degree preferred.
  • Strong analytical thinking and communication skills.
  • Advanced Excel skills.
  • SQL, Power BI, Python, or similar tools are a plus and can be learned.
  • Demonstrated curiosity about AI and enthusiasm for using AI tools to improve business outcomes.
