• Promote a product mindset by ensuring semantic and metric definitions are governed centrally and reused across consumption channels.

What we are looking for

• Experience owning products in an Agile/Scrum setting, including backlog prioritization, user stories, acceptance criteria, and close involvement through delivery.
• Strong ability to define business metrics and KPIs, then translate them into calculation logic, decision rules, and workable requirements.
• Comfort with validating assumptions, definitions, and edge cases with both senior business stakeholders and technical teams.
• Background on data analytics projects, with the ability to turn business questions into analytical requirements and support insight delivery.
• Strong communication and facilitation skills, including presenting to senior leaders and aligning business and technical viewpoints.
• Experience collaborating across analysts, BI developers, and engineers from discovery through release.

• Experience supporting adoption of new tools, processes, or data products through training and communication planning.
