• Design, execute, and scale experimentation including A/B testing, causal inference, and machine learning models that directly inform financial, operational, and strategic decisions.
• Develop and deploy Agentic AI solutions that expand ecosystem AI capabilities, moving concepts from prototype to production independently and in partnership with cross-functional stakeholders.
• Transform raw, multi-domain data into insights by sourcing, validating, and modeling large datasets to ensure accuracy, relevance, and business fitness.
• Influence decisions through storytelling by translating analytical findings into clear, compelling narratives and visualizations tailored to senior leaders and cross-functional stakeholders.
• Raise the technical bar across the organization through mentorship, modeling techniques, coding standards, and analytical best practices.
• Collaborate across functions to ensure analytical solutions are scalable, adopted, and aligned with enterprise objectives.
• Monitor analytical, AI, and data trends to identify opportunities, risks, and potential areas for operational and strategic improvement.
• Monitor, validate, and maintain data quality, integrity, and consistency across analytical datasets and reporting solutions.
• Synthesize complex analytical findings and data inputs into actionable insights, summaries, reports, dashboards, and visualizations for stakeholders and leadership.
• Advise stakeholders and leadership on trends, risks, opportunities, and analytical findings through clear and concise communication.
• Maintain organized documentation related to analytical models, reporting logic, datasets, methodologies, and technical processes.
• Perform other duties and responsibilities as assigned to support evolving organizational needs.
