The role requires strong collaboration with data scientists, data engineers, architects, security, governance, and business stakeholders while managing risks, dependencies, timelines, and executive communications.

Coordinate with ETS, data engineering, architecture, security, and risk teams to support data ingestion, access, and platform readiness. Translate analytic requirements (models, features, signals, measurement needs) into executable delivery plans. Governance, Risk & Compliance Enablement Support enterprise governance processes related to analytics and data use, including: Data Transfer Authorizations (DTAs) Security and privacy review Architecture and operational readiness approvals Ensure analytics solutions align to enterprise data standards, risk tolerance, and regulatory expectations.

Support design and delivery of test‑and‑learn frameworks, measurement plans, and performance reporting. Partner with analytics teams to ensure results are traceable, explainable, and actionable by Marketing stakeholders. Stakeholder Communication & Influence Provide clear, executive‑ready updates on data and analytics initiatives, including risks, trade‑offs, and decision points. Act as a translator between technical data teams and non‑technical business partners.
