Key Responsibilities
- Build and maintain an external data roadmap: what to buy, what to partner on, what activities to stop, and securing stakeholder alignment to make it all happen

- Develop sister-brand data collaborations, including clean room and aggregated-insight use cases, by removing blockers, aligning interests, and converting goodwill into repeatable delivery
- Champion data adoption across strategy, commercial, and operations teams, ensuring external data is included in existing reporting, to better inform processes and executive narratives
- Apply explicit ROI thinking to every data investment: will an initiative create more value than it costs?
- Navigate data licensing, privacy, governance, and data management considerations — you’re the authority on how we can use data
- Collaborate closely with analytics engineering to ensure lightweight, sustainable integration of new data sources into the platform
