This role supports marketplace leadership by improving the systems, processes, and cross-functional execution that drives marketplace performance, scalability, and customer experience.

The Senior Business Intelligence Manager will turn marketplace data into clear business decisions while also building the processes, standards, and technical foundation required for trusted reporting.

• Train business users on how to interpret reports correctly, apply filters appropriately, and use data responsibly in decision-making.
