Promote data democratisation by developing self-service analytics and training non-analytics teams.
• Effective Stakeholder Engagement & Change Management: Collaborate with business operational teams and senior leadership to drive process improvements and manage change, ensuring a Group approach where applicable. Review report usage, manage transitions, and provide SME servicing to promote standardised tools. Champion the adoption of new self-serve BI tools.
• High-Performance BI Culture: Role model new BI approaches, communicate best practice design for dashboards and self-service tools, and foster a collaborative team environment. Maintain a motivated mindset in a fast-paced environment and embody Woolworths Way of Working and company values.
