  • Track onboarding health, time-to-value benchmarks, and product adoption metrics to drive partner success across product lines

  • 2+ years of experience managing or leading analysts, with a demonstrated track record of developing high-performing teams
  • Proven ability to translate complex analytical findings into clear, actionable insights for non-technical stakeholders
  • Demonstrated experience building or owning self-service analytics frameworks that empower business users
