• Execute product categorization and attribution when needed as part of broader metric-building workflows.
• Identify data quality issues and determine appropriate tradeoffs when perfect data is not available.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to plan and deliver data projects on time and with high accuracy.
• Ensure consistency and reliability of outputs across customers while accounting for customer-specific nuances.
• Continuously improve processes and workflows to increase efficiency, accuracy, and scalability.
• Take ownership of deliverables and be accountable for the quality and usability of the final data.
