  • Ability to structure ambiguous analytical problems into clear workplans and deliverables

  • Oversight of model development and analytical outputs (guidance rather than day-to-day coding)

Client & Stakeholder Management

  • Translate analytical findings into clear, executive-ready insights

  • Manage expectations, timelines, risks, and delivery milestones

  • Partner with business and technology stakeholders to define success metrics

Team & Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Guide and review work produced by data scientists, analysts, and BI teams

  • Collaborate with data engineering and platform teams to operationalize analytics solutions

  • Ensure analytical rigor and best practices across deliverables

  • Proven experience in client-facing or consulting delivery environments

  • Ability to lead analytics engagements and influence senior stakeholders

  • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
