• Standardize monitoring for data quality and AI-assisted insight outputs (e.g., drift, stability, and reproducibility); partner on governance, controls, and recurring business reviews.

AI-Powered Analytics Delivery & Adoption

• Lead cross-functional delivery (within Analytics and with Data Engineering) for prioritized AI analytics use cases from requirements through launch and iteration (e.g., insight copilots, automated commentary, root-cause exploration, and anomaly detection).
• Drive adoption through enablement (training, office hours, playbooks) and implement safe-response standards for analytics outputs (approved sources, citations as needed, confidence thresholds, and human review/escalation).
• Enable AI/ML for analytical modeling (segmentation, forecasting, propensity/response, experimentation support) with performance monitoring, documentation, and governance.
• Partner with analytics stakeholders to embed AI-assisted insights into reporting and decision cadences (dashboards, QBRs, and executive readouts) to improve speed and clarity of decisions.

What you bring:

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, data science, statistics, economics, or a quantitative field.
• 10+ years across analytics/data/AI, including 3+ years leading cross-functional analytics programs.
• Strong SQL and Python (or similar) and experience enabling analytics consumption via governed semantic layers/metric definitions; comfortable with structured and unstructured data.
• Experience building analytics products (dashboards, KPI frameworks, experimentation readouts) and using AI to accelerate analysis, insight generation, and storytelling.
• Executive communication and stakeholder management; translating analytical and AI concepts into clear decisions and roadmaps.
• Proven change in leadership and adoption enablement (training, governance) delivering measurable improvements in time-to-insight, decision quality, or risk management.
