Overview
As a Principal Analytics Client Lead supporting Field Operations Selection and Launch, you lead the work to successfully scope, develop, launch, and integrate into the business a substantial portfolio of analytics products stewarded by the Analytics Service team within Enterprise Data & Analytics (ED&A). You will own the development of the vision and strategy for the products within this portfolio, plan for and lead their successful execution, and act as the primary representative of this portfolio to the business.
This requires a person who has an entrepreneurial spirit and agile mindset with the enthusiasm and ability to develop trusted relationships and influence leaders and colleagues across the enterprise. The role requires a self-starter who can work under broad direction, capable of developing a point of view and selling the "art of the possible." Strong consultative and communication skills are key to success in this role and the ability to translate, interpret, visualize, and share outcomes to people at all levels of data literacy.
