Advanced Analytics & Causal Thinking

  • Exposure to building pragmatic forecasting/what-if models (pipeline scenarios, renewal outcomes, capacity planning).

Executive Storytelling & Stakeholder Leadership
  • Act as a thought partner to leaders: shape decisions, not just report numbers.
  • Develop crisp narratives that connect metrics to actions: “what happened, why, what to do next.”
  • Raise analytics standards through mentorship, templates, review processes, and best practices.
  • Shape

  • Proven track record driving measurable outcomes through analytics (growth, retention, pipeline, efficiency, product adoption).
  • Strong experience with data modeling concepts (grain, dimensions/facts, metric logic) and partnering to productionize analytics.
  • Proven experience driving source-system discovery and converting findings into clear data requirements/specs (entities, fields, grain, rules, SLAs) for Data Engineering to build the data model and pipelines.
  • Proven experience with BI tools (Tableau, Power BI, Looker) and building high-trust dashboards.
  • Strong experience with a scripting language like Python is desirable.
  • Demonstrated ability to influence senior stakeholders with clear recommendations and strong business judgment.
  • Strong communication skills: executive storytelling, clear written narratives, and concise visuals.
  • Business acumen: understands SaaS economics and how decisions translate to outcomes.
