Conduct data reviews and trend analysis to explain, interpret and provide customized information to teams and leadership. Identify data integrity issues and provide input on how to improve data processes. Prepare raw data and associated reporting for use in branch planning. Respond to routine and ad hoc data requests. Coordinate and fulfill high-priority requests from leadership and stakeholders. Contribute to enterprise projects and support subject matter experts.
