4. Work with non-technical partners and product teams to understand their needs, translate requirements into applicable data requirements, and come up with automated end-to-end solutions.
5. Standardize business and product metric definitions in curated and optimized datasets, and develop data dictionaries and other related documentation.
6. Teach and encourage others to self-serve by building tools that make it simpler and faster for them to do so.

You Have
