    Responsibilities

    What You’ll Do

    Data Architecture & Insight

    Map how all service lines connect operationally and financially, who depends on whom, where the handoffs are, and where vulnerabilities exist.

    Build a unified analytical view of cost, utilization, SLA performance, quality, and project activity across construction, facilities, gas/chem, testing, and protocol teams.

    Create dashboards and reports that surface what operations teams and account leads need to see — not just what they ask for, but what they actually need.

    Data Quality & Systems Integration

    Improve the quality, consistency, and usability of account data across finance, operations, labor, project, and customer systems.

    Partner with operational teams to identify data gaps, inconsistent definitions, manual workarounds, and reporting blind spots that limit leadership visibility.

    Help connect fragmented data sources into a more reliable account-level view of cost, performance, utilization, project activity, and growth opportunities.

    Translate messy operational data into trusted reporting that leaders can use to make decisions with confidence.

    Cost & Margin Analysis

    Analyze the account P&L across all service lines to identify margin drains: unnecessary overhead, inefficient labor deployment, scope creep, and operational inefficiencies.

    Model the financial impact of operational decisions: what happens if we adjust staffing, change protocols, consolidate vendors, renegotiate supplier terms, or shift the way work is delivered.

    Work with operations teams to develop and track improvement initiatives from concept through implementation.

    Opportunity Identification

    Look for gaps: where customers have unmet needs, where competitors are playing, and where adjacent services could add value.

    Combine operational data with market signals to surface expansion opportunities, including new service lines, increased scope, and enhanced capabilities.

    Build business cases with realistic assumptions, showing revenue, margin, execution risk, and operational requirements.

    Present options to account leads and corporate leadership. Your job is to show the thinking, not make the decision.

    Solutioning & Pricing Support

    Support upcoming project opportunities by helping account leaders and operational teams translate customer needs, scope assumptions, labor requirements, and service dependencies into practical solution options.

    Build and pressure-test pricing models that reflect how the work will actually be delivered, including labor, materials, subcontractors, risk, overhead, and margin assumptions.

    Compare pricing scenarios so leadership can understand tradeoffs between competitiveness, profitability, execution risk, and long-term account growth.

    Partner with operations after award to compare pricing assumptions against actual performance and improve future project estimates.

    Project & Initiative Support

    When the account pursues a major project, such as a fab expansion, new capability rollout, or system upgrade, provide analytical support: scope validation, timeline and resource modeling, and financial tracking.

    Work alongside project leads and operational teams. You’re not running the project, but you’re making sure leadership has the data they need to navigate it.

    Identify and surface risks early so decisions can be made with clear-eyed assumptions.

    Problem-Solving & Strategic Foresight

    Be the person account leads call when they need to think through something complex: “Here’s what we’re seeing. What does the data tell us? What are we missing?”

    Challenge assumptions constructively. Ask “why” and “what if?” to force clearer thinking.

    Share insights with internal leadership on account profitability, growth, operational risk, and competitive positioning.

    Who You Are

    Core Mindset

    You think like a strategist and work like a detective. You don’t accept surface-level answers; you dig until you understand the actual mechanics.

    Data is your native language, but you don’t disappear into spreadsheets. You synthesize complex information into crisp, actionable insights.

    You’re comfortable being the expert in the room and the learner. You can speak credibly with operations teams, engineers, account leaders, and the C-suite.

    You don’t need a perfect dataset to move forward. You work with what you have, make transparent assumptions, and course-correct as you learn more.

    You’re a problem-solver first, analyst second. “That’s not possible” triggers your creative side, not your resignation.

    Qualifications

    Experience We’re Looking For

    4–10 years in a mix of operations, business intelligence, management consulting, finance, project controls, or strategic analytics.

    Proven ability to translate operational complexity into clean, strategic narratives.

    Experience in B2B services, manufacturing, facilities, construction, or highly regulated industries such as semiconductor, pharma, defense, or energy.

    Fluency with analytics tools such as Excel, SQL, Python, and data visualization platforms such as Tableau or Power BI.

    Experience supporting project pricing, estimating, commercial analysis, or business case development for complex service, construction, facilities, or technical work.

    Comfort learning technical domains quickly. You won’t be an expert in fab operations on Day 1, but you’ll be credible fast.

    Track record of building strong relationships with operational leaders and executives without trying to own their function.

    What Sets You Apart

    You ask the questions nobody else thinks to ask. You see patterns in noise.

    You’re intellectually restless. You get bored by the status quo and energized by solving problems that haven’t been solved before.

    You’ve worked in high-pressure environments where decisions can’t wait for perfect data, and you’ve thrived.

    You can disagree respectfully. You push back on assumptions without ego, and you influence through clarity, not authority.

    You know the difference between a report and an insight. You don’t just show what happened; you explain why it happened, what is likely to happen next, and what leadership can do about it.

    You see analytics as a force multiplier for operations, not a separate function sitting on the sidelines.

    Reporting To

    Director, Data Analytics and Reporting

    Primary Collaborators

    Account leaders, operational managers, construction teams, facilities teams, gas/chemical teams, testing teams, protocol teams, project leadership, finance, and corporate strategy.

    Why This Role Matters

    Semiconductor fabrication is one of the world’s most complex operations. A single inefficiency can cascade across multiple service dependencies, and a missed opportunity can cost millions.

    Operational leaders are focused, correctly, on execution. They need someone who can think one level up: seeing the whole picture, spotting what’s broken before it breaks, and surfacing the moves that unlock margin and growth.

    This is high-level staff support where your analytical rigor, strategic instinct, and problem-solving creativity make the account leaders smarter and more effective.

    You won’t own the operations. You’ll own the thinking that makes them better.
