• Insight Acceleration: Partner with analytics managers, data analysts, and data scientists to deliver insights that directly inform executive sales, planning, and go-to-market strategies.
• Business Partnership: Collaborate with business and strategy stakeholders to understand evolving requirements and help translate them into technical data solutions that support growth initiatives—such as segmentation, customer insights, and new go-to-market approaches.
• Efficiency and Automation: Identify opportunities to automate manual or repetitive data processes, scaling analytics capabilities and freeing up analysts for more strategic work.
• Data Quality and Reliability: Support the integrity, consistency, and accuracy of data pipelines and models, contributing to business-critical Tableau dashboards, Excel workbooks, and data science models.
• Innovation and Best Practices: Contribute to prototyping new data solutions, experiment with emerging tools and techniques (e.g., AI, Python, cloud data migration), and adopt data engineering best practices.
• Generative AI Integration: Work with data scientists and AI teams to explore, prototype, and support the integration of generative AI solutions (such as large language models, text summarization, or automated insight generation) into analytics workflows.
• Cross-Functional Enablement: Build relationships across Cisco's data stewards, architects, and business teams to support new data sources and data integration and company-wide data initiatives.
• Collaboration and Learning: Share knowledge, collaborate with peers, and help foster a culture of continuous learning and improvement across the analytics engineering function.
