• Produce dashboards, reports, and visualisations to present insights clearly to the Safety and
Security management and other stakeholders.
• Support briefings, presentations, and strategic discussions with evidence-based recommendations.
• Ensure communication of key findings in a clear, concise, and actionable manner for decision-making.

Collaboration & Stakeholder Engagement:
• Work closely with internal teams, government agencies, and other event stakeholders to gather and verify
data relevant to workforce and special projects.
• Act as a conduit for ensuring analytical findings inform broader safety and security operations and planning.
