- Partner with teams across Product, Sales, Marketing, Operations, and Risk to understand reporting needs and drive adoption of dashboards and recurring insights.
- Create enablement materials (one-pagers, metric dictionaries, “how-to” guides) to help stakeholders interpret and use reporting correctly.
- Incorporate feedback and usage patterns to iterate on dashboards and outputs over time.
- Perform validation and reconciliation checks to ensure reporting accuracy and consistency across sources.
-
Support governance routines for metric changes (definition updates, data refresh cadence, and documentation)
