• Review and validate SQL queries in collaboration with technical partners, developing proficiency in data verification and quality assurance

• Support successful capability launches and drive adoption - including providing structured feedback, participating in testing cycles, and engaging stakeholders

• Partner with and train analysts to best use our data and technology infrastructure for building dashboards, reports, and conducting analyses

• Proactively identify opportunities to improve processes, tools, or analyses, demonstrating intellectual curiosity beyond the immediate scope of work

• Translate business requirements into technical requirements and work with engineering partners to assess feasibility and form project plans

• Communicate the business value of proposed projects to senior leadership by framing opportunities in terms of impact, feasibility, and alignment with strategic goals, enabling effective prioritization and resourcing decisions

• Collaborate with engineering and data partners to influence tool and pipeline design decisions that improve usability and long-term maintainability

• Document and share reusable frameworks, templates, and tools to improve onboarding and speed up solution delivery
