Operations Analyst

The Operations Analyst will provide data driven insights that enable and enhance CURiO’s analytical capabilities and SIOP processes. The Operations Analyst will be responsible for developing dashboards, tools, and reporting capabilities that functional leaders within the operations organization need to execute efficiently and effectively.
