About this role
Data Analyst II (Audit & Compliance Focus) - Contract
Houston, TX | Hybrid/Remote Flexibility | Telecom Industry | Contract
We are seeking a Data Analyst II to support a regional audit team focused on compliance, asset management, and sales quality across large-scale operations. This role sits at the intersection of business performance and data validation-ensuring KPIs, reporting, and operational metrics are accurate, aligned, and actionable.
This is not a traditional SQL-heavy analyst role. Instead, it's a high-impact audit and insights position where your ability to identify inconsistencies, validate performance, and influence decision-making will directly impact business outcomes. You'll work closely with leadership and cross-functional teams to uncover trends, flag risks, and drive operational improvements across the region.
The Opportunity (Why This Role Stands Out)
This is a high-visibility role where your insights directly influence strategy, performance, and accountability. If you have a background in audit, compliance, asset management, or sales quality, this is your chance to step into a role where your analytical thinking drives real-world decisions-not just dashboards.
