  • You’re experienced in leading managers and planning ahead for the next 12-24 months.
  • You’re passionate about building a "data‑first" culture, where data fuels decisions and innovation.
  • You’re confident partnering with different teams and stakeholders, from hands‑on engineers to senior leaders.
