  • Train, tune, and evaluate models using Amazon SageMaker (built-in algorithms or custom frameworks);
  • Design decision-ready dashboards for business stakeholders;
  • Define and track relevant KPIs;
  • Deliver data-driven storytelling tailored to non-technical audiences;
  • Experience with BI tools is considered a plus;
  • Ensure data and model versioning, testing, and reproducibility;
