You aren't just managing data; you are ensuring that our workforce plans are accurate, integrated, and clearly communicated to leadership. You will play a vital role in our International Talent Expansion, ensuring our global growth projects stay on track and our executive narratives are backed by rock-solid insights.

The ideal candidate is a highly organized project manager who excels at synthesizing information from multiple sources and translating complex updates into polished, executive-ready presentations.
