About the role
- Drive the rhythm of business for the Data Ops team by managing schedules, tracking milestones, and holding the team accountable to delivery dates.

- Serve as the primary liaison between the technical team and business stakeholders.
- Translate "engineering speak" into status updates that highlight progress toward business goals.
- Protect the team's focus by managing intake requests and triage, ensuring alignment with current business priorities before work is accepted.
- Build relationships across the organization to smooth dependencies and remove non-technical roadblocks.
- Leverage your exposure to data/analytics to spot inefficiencies in our workflows and suggest improvements.
- Support the team with basic data-related tasks or first-level triage where your skills allow, acting as a "force multiplier" for the engineers.
