You thrive in fast-paced, high-growth environments and excel at bringing structure, clarity, and insight to complexity.

• Pioneer an AI-native analytics and systems approach, equipping analysts, sales reps, engineers, and stakeholders with tools and systems that enable autonomy, efficiency, and innovation that was not possible just a few years ago.

• Navigate cross-functional priorities, support decentralized business needs, and balance centralized initiatives.
