- Own the semantic/metrics layer so that key business definitions are consistent, governed, and reusable across the organization.
- Advance self-service analytics, enabling business partners to answer their own questions within a governed framework.
- Deliver embedded analytics into the tools and applications where stakeholders already work.
- Partner with the Director of Enterprise Data and Analytics to prioritize the roadmap, report status, and communicate tradeoffs.
- Serve as the primary point of contact for third-party vendors, managing those relationships and holding partners accountable to delivery and quality expectations.
- Facilitate discovery conversations with business partners that get past the initial request to the underlying business problem.
- Ensure data products adhere to enterprise data governance and security standards, partnering with the governance and data quality functions.
- Maintain documentation for processes, data products, and best practices.
- Identify and define process-improvement and modernization opportunities across the analytics stack.
