• Partner with capabilities and other analytics teams across the organization to ensure the team is optimally using capabilities, data, and analytical platforms, as well as staying up to speed with new developments and techniques.

Qualifications:

• Strong background in data-driven strategy, revenue management, and cross-functional leadership in a highly matrixed environment.
