Own all reporting and data quality, from the early phases of manual execution to later working with data engineering to productionize processes for the opportunities that scale.
Socialize your findings within the team, with leaders, or in other forums (e.g., test and learn reviews). Document learnings to build our organization’s institutional knowledge base.
Utilize SQL to write queries and build templates for clean rooms analysis, for use cases such as CLS validation and exploratory analysis of customer segments and performance.
