This role requires a strong ability to deeply analyze data, translate insights into clear visual and executive‑level materials, and lead overall operational execution across the business.

This is not a pure reporting role. The ideal candidate is someone who can own the full cycle—from data analysis to insight generation, to executive storytelling—and proactively drive alignment and decision‑making.

• Translate data insights into clear, structured visual outputs, including dashboards, charts, and executive summaries
• Build, maintain, and continuously improve dashboards and data visualizations for business cadences and executive reviews
• Support OPEX management, including I&W, resource tracking, and variance analysis
• Develop executive‑level PowerPoint materials with strong storyline, structure, and visual clarity
• Prepare materials for business reviews, capture key decisions, and track action items to completion
• Act as a central coordinator and driver, proactively managing topics across stakeholders and leading execution

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Engineering, or a related field (Master’s preferred)
• Strong core capability in data analysis, with the ability to conduct in‑depth and ad‑hoc analysis across diverse areas
• Proficiency in SAP and advanced Excel
• Experience building and managing dashboards and data visualizations
• Proven ability to create high‑quality executive‑level PowerPoint presentations
• Fluent in English and Korean
• Ability to work independently, manage multiple priorities, and operate with minimal supervision
• Military service completed or exempt; no restrictions on overseas travel

• Strong visual storytelling sense to enhance executive communication
• Solid understanding of layout, typography, and visual hierarchy
• Experience with visualization or design tools such as:
  • Advanced PowerPoint features
  • Power BI, Tableau
  • Illustrator, Figma, or similar tools
• Experience leading or owning cross‑functional operational topics, beyond individual contributor tasks
