• Demonstrated experience stepping into existing operational environments, maintaining data dashboards (e.g., Sigma, Tableau, advanced spreadsheets), and driving incremental process improvements.
• Strong analytical skills with a focus on root-cause analysis, practical problem-solving, and managing nuanced rule sets.
• Foundational understanding of basic machine learning principles, automated data workflows, and AI-assisted tooling.
• Proven cross-functional skills, specifically in triaging sales support requests and communicating operational needs to product/engineering teams.
