Lead deep-dive analyses on business performance, drawing insights from product adoption, retention, monetization, competitive landscape, and roadmap ROI to inform executive trade-off conversations and investment decisions

Track and unblock critical cross-functional initiatives spanning Product Management, Design, Engineering, Product Marketing, and AI Platform teams, proactively identifying and resolving misalignment before it becomes execution risk

Prepare clear, data-backed narratives and strategic recommendations for the executive team and Board, crafting concise written and visual materials that translate complex analysis into actionable insight

Serve as the eyes and ears for the Senior Leadership team on organizational health, tracking morale, engagement, attrition, and unspoken feedback, and developing engagement action plans rooted in data

You move seamlessly between quantitative analysis, qualitative research, and strategic synthesis, analyzing multiple and diverse sources of information to make data-informed, high-impact recommendations

You have strong executive presence and communicate strategically, with the ability to articulate vision, translate complex ideas, connect work to the big picture, and challenge constructively in high-stakes settings

You champion cross-functional collaboration and navigate complex stakeholder relationships, building trust and creating alignment across teams with competing priorities

You demonstrate high judgment, discretion, and resilience, managing difficult situations and hard conversations with professional maturity while maintaining calm and composure under pressure

You have experience operating in complex, matrixed technology businesses and bring familiarity with organizational design, change management, or transformation initiatives at scale
