Own a multi-year analytics roadmap and backlog aligned to enterprise and business unit objectives. Lead demand intake, qualification and prioritization; sequence work against available capacity and communicate trade-offs to sponsors. Define business cases, expected benefits and success measures for analytics investments, and report progress, adoption and value realization to senior leadership. Technical Guidance and Data Product Ownership Maintain functional and technical command of the team’s data products and negotiate the features and releases that keep each one current and adding value. Advise architects and engineers on data modeling and integration approaches, and review designs for scalability, reusability, performance, supportability and total cost of ownership. Champion reuse of certified data products over single-purpose solutions and eliminate duplication across functions. Delivery, Governance and Adoption Hold delivery teams accountable for committed scope, quality and dates, escalating risks early with a recommended course of action. Ensure solutions ship with the documentation, runbooks and knowledge transfer required for support, and that production issues carry clear ownership and response paths. Partner with Data Governance and Information Security on data quality, stewardship, access management and compliance for operational and supplier data. Drive post-deployment adoption through training, communication and change management, including retirement of legacy and duplicative reporting.
