  • Proven experience in survey operations, people analytics, or employee engagement, with a demonstrated track record of designing and owning programs that translate feedback into measurable action
  • Strong technical acumen, including experience leading enterprise software development projects and hands-on proficiency with data visualization tools
  • Deep analytical knowledge with the ability to drive high-quality data collection, interpret complex trends, derive actionable insights, and influence scalable reporting/dashboards
