• Help establish repeatable operating processes for how insights are requested, built, validated, released, monitored, and improved over time
• Track and unblock dependencies across data sources, pipelines, semantic layers, AI-generated outputs, and downstream business workflows
• Support launch readiness by making sure data quality, business logic, access, documentation, support plans, and stakeholder communications are in place

Strong attention to detail and ability to identify risks related to data quality, logic gaps, unclear ownership, missed dependencies, stakeholder alignment, or delivery readiness. Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain data, process, and technical topics clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. Ability to work in a fast-paced, dynamic, constantly evolving business environment. Ability to manage multiple workstreams in a fast-paced environment while balancing planned roadmap work, operational issues, and ad hoc business requests.
