• Translate business goals and customer needs into clear requirements, success metrics, and delivery plans, including framing opportunities that Data Science and technical teams can build against.
• Lead cross-functional collaboration with Engineering, Data Science, Analytics, User Experience, and business stakeholders to bring scalable solutions to life.
• Use qualitative insights and quantitative data to evaluate performance, prioritize initiatives, and make informed decisions.
• Champion experimentation through A/B testing and iterative development, using results to demonstrate business impact and shape future roadmap priorities.
