You will partner closely with Analytics, Data Engineering, Data Visualization Engineering, Finance, Workforce Management, and Operations to define metrics, design scalable data models, and deliver reusable BI solutions that scale across CXO.

• Collaborate with Analytics to translate exploratory analysis into standardized and reusable BI products.

• Develop and maintain advanced SQL transformations used in production BI workflows.

• Build BI assets, including feature consistent datasets, governed semantic layers, and documented metrics, that enable downstream use cases such as automation, experimentation, AI powered analytics, agent assisted decisioning, and executive decision support.

• Establish BI documentation, metadata standards, and data quality signals that make CXO metrics understandable, discoverable, and ready for AI driven and self service consumption.

• Drive BI adoption and impact by partnering with CXO Program, Analytics, and Operations leaders to shape intake, prioritize high impact work, enable stakeholders, and reduce ad hoc reporting through scalable solutions.

• Serve as a trusted cross functional partner, aligning Analytics, Data Engineering, Finance, Workforce Management, and Operations around shared definitions, priorities, and outcomes.
