• Build and maintain relationships with global, cross-functional partners across technology and business teams
• Adopt and promote an agile mindset and contribute to a broader transition to agile for the organization
• Collaborate around continuous improvement to minimize technical debt
• Implement processes to improve transparency and automation around data quality, readiness, and performance
