Act as a strategic partner to leadership, providing the structured communication and data-driven insights needed to chart new paths.
Define and set targets against operating KPIs, tracking performance, and communicating the drivers behind week-to-week variations.
Evaluate the competitive landscape to help define where we play, how we compete, and potential M&A opportunities to pursue.
Identify and size new growth opportunities during the planning process, translating bold strategic ideas into tangible, data-backed initiatives.
Collaborate cross-functionally to solve high-impact, ambiguous problems that have complex dependencies across different parts of the business.

Advanced technical proficiency in SQL, Excel/Google Sheets, and Tableau (or similar analytical tools) to extract and manipulate data independently.

Strong stakeholder management skills, with a demonstrated ability to bridge different perspectives and drive consensus among diverse groups.
Residency in the Chicago or Bay Area, or a willingness to be based out of these hubs to collaborate closely with the team.
