• Cross-Functional Synergy & GTM Alignment: Collaborate with Revenue Operations, Product Management, Corporate Strategy, and Marketing to ensure market intelligence directly informs company Objectives and Key Results (OKRs), product roadmaps, and M&A evaluations.
• Functional Mentorship & Analytical Governance: Establish data hygiene standards and research methodologies across the team; mentor and elevate junior and mid-level analysts in quantitative modeling, data visualization, and executive storytelling.
