• Lead the platform from concept through delivery in close partnership with Data Science and Engineering, making clear technical and product trade-offs (build vs. integrate vs. vendor).
• Partner with application teams to launch and scale platform capabilities, accelerate adoption, and identify barriers to reuse.
