- Prototype quickly—leveraging ChatGPT, Jupyter notebooks, Retool, and other tools—to prove value before hardening with Engineering.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, Marketing, Legal, and Operations to align on launch goals, timelines, and readiness metrics.
- Identify risks and challenges during rollouts, proposing solutions that safeguard customer experience and service levels.

- Understand and operationalize GTM workflows through thoughtful systems design.
- Be comfortable navigating ambiguity and collaborating cross-functionally.

- Experience with data warehousing and analytics tools such as Snowflake, Redshift, BigQuery, etc.
