• Synthesize competitive intelligence from job postings, talent movement, and skills signals across 100+ companies to inform recruiting strategy and role positioning

• Present to senior leadership with clarity and conviction — translating complex analytics into compelling narratives that shape business direction

• Champion self-serve analytics so recruiters and partners can move faster and smarter

• Deep fluency in SQL, data visualization tools (Tableau, Einstein Analytics, or similar), and data modeling

• Experience building and scaling data pipelines and intelligence systems

• Strong track record of influencing senior stakeholders through data storytelling
