Collaborating with other P&C teams, as well as business leaders and managers across the organisation, we execute on a critical component of P&C Strategy that develops the culture and environment that enables the advancement of AI research.
Our team's approach is data-driven, integrated with business goals, agile in response to market changes, and empowering for our leaders. We leverage performance and talent data to drive strategic talent decisions, invest in critical areas, and enable a resilient and elite-performing GDM.
We are looking for someone who can help our team turbo-charge their efforts by applying a process improvement lens, particularly focused on improving our data analysis capabilities. Our organization continues to grow quickly and we need your help in scaling our efforts!
