Reporting, metrics, and insights

• Define the core metric set, scorecards, and outcome measures used to track performance.
• Partner with data engineering and analytics to design reports and dashboards that are accurate, timely, and actionable.

• Experience leading cross-functional initiatives at the intersection of data, operations, and stakeholder engagement.
• Strong understanding of data-driven reporting, scorecards, and outcome metrics in a complex operational environment.
