The Senior Analyst Role will have lighter oversight from Director vs Analyst Role. The Senior Analyst Role will be required to give guidance to other analysts in the Corporate Innovation Team - leveraging their additional experience. A key part of the Senior Analyst Role will be contributing to the culture of the Corporate Innovation Team.
