The individual leverages their expertise in data analytics to analyze data and metrics to drive day-to-day business decisions, as well as process improvements. They have the ability to think end-to-end and work cross-functionally. They never think in silos and always consider every aspect of the customer experience, focusing on the big picture. They partner across teams well and often become the facilitative voice. They handle situations that might arise in a way that allows for all voices to be heard, while allowing the team to close on decisions.
