  • AI-Native Operations
  • Design, build, and ship agentic capabilities that make the analytics team more AI-native, including co-PM agents that triage incoming work, monitor data science workstreams in Azure DevOps, and propose ticket updates that keep our backlog accurate without manual hygiene effort
  • Build PM-layer agents that read across the Azure Dev Ops (ADO) portfolio to surface risk, estimate effort on new requests, and recommend project plans that managers can adapt rather than write from scratch
  • Establish shared infrastructure and patterns — prompting, evaluation, orchestration, observability, guardrails — that let the rest of the team build downstream agents reliably

  • Develop LLM-powered internal tools and skills that compress the cycle from analytics request to delivered insight, including capabilities that draft, format, and pressure-test the standard inputs analysts produce for MBR, MMR, and leadership review rhythms
  • Identify the highest-friction parts of the analyst delivery flow and design generative AI interventions that remove rather than relocate the work
  • Partner with the analytics team to instrument adoption, measure time saved, and iterate based on real usage rather than projected value
  • Marketer-Facing Capabilities
  • Lead the design and delivery of marketer-facing generative AI capabilities, anchored by a conversational analytics agent that allows marketers across Brand, Product Marketing Management (PMM), Customer Insights, and demand generation to self-serve on the analytics questions they bring to the team today
