• A minimum of four years of related analytical experience.
• A demonstrated ability to learn coding languages such as R, Python, or other.

• Strong attention to detail and organization skills to conduct accurate analyses and forecasts.
• Excellent interpersonal and time management skills to develop and deliver presentations with succinct recommendations and supported strategic arguments.

In this role, you will have the option to participate in a flexible work program, enabling you to work from an approved flex location in British Columbia up to 85 days a year (equivalent to approximately two days a week), subject to business or operational needs.
