• Challenge assumptions by raising data-driven hypotheses and alternatives; escalate risks or anomalies and propose mitigation steps (e.g., sample/source adjustments, instrument refinements).
• Contribute to PMR capability building by researching and piloting new tools/methods and adopting internal/external best practices under guidance from a Manager.
• Translate PMR findings into actionable insights with clear narratives, visualizations, and recommendations tailored to CBU brand objectives.
