Job Description
The primary purpose of this role is to translate business problems into analytic designs and perform the quantitative analysis or model building needed to help guide key business decisions. This includes applying knowledge of Lowe's data concepts to the creation of relevant analytic designs and making sound, data-driven business recommendations. This includes building testing frameworks for improving in store processes.

These tagging specifications ensure that data can be translated to tangible results for Lowe's. Once metrics are defined, the analysts will be responsible for building reporting and self-serving reporting mechanisms for product management.
