  • Institutionalize data governance (quality, lineage, privacy/security) and champion Responsible AI; partner with Security/Compliance on controls (e.g., SOC 2, GDPR/CCPA)
  • Own portfolio execution—from discovery and design to GA and iteration—using evidence based prioritization, strong program management, and crisp executive communication with internal stakeholders, leaders and clients
  • Partner across the business to support commercial motions (value narratives, demos, analytics SLAs) and customer outcomes (adoption playbooks, benchmarks, and health KPIs)
  • Hire, grow, and mentor team members to effectively and efficiently build, deploy and scale data and insights products

  • Strong product sense and storytelling; ability to translate complex analytics into simple narratives and actions for executives and customers
  • Excellence in stakeholder management, roadmap prioritization, and change leadership across matrixed, global organizations
  • Bachelor’s degree in a quantitative field or equivalent experience; advanced degree a plus.
