As the Sr. Strategic Analytics and Operations Manager for Ecosystems, you will be the analytical engine driving how we "run the business." You will hold a pivotal, high-visibility role as a thought partner to senior leadership, responsible for managing the operational cadence (QBRs, MBRs) and delivering the data-driven insights necessary to solve complex business challenges. This role is ideal for a leader with a strong analytical background who excels at building scalable reporting frameworks, automating data workflows, and translating large datasets into executive-level strategies.
Key Responsibilities
Operating Rhythm & Business Reviews: Lead the end-to-end execution of regular business reviews, including Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs), Monthly Business Reviews (MBRs), and Quarterly Factpacks.
Reporting Standardization & Dashboards: Design and deliver scalable, Tableau-based QBR and reporting frameworks across multiple Routes-to-Market (RTMs). Develop, monitor, and own critical KPIs to dramatically reduce manual reporting effort and enable teams to spend more time driving insights instead of collecting data.
Business Analytics & Executive Support: Support high-priority analytics requests, executive reporting needs, and complex analyses. Partner deeply with stakeholders to understand the underlying business problems and provide actionable insights rather than simply fulfilling data requests.
Data Automation & Efficiency: Proactively identify opportunities to automate recurring executive reporting processes (e.g., significantly reducing turnaround times for Factpacks) and replace highly manual workflows (such as partner mapping) with scalable, AI-driven, or automated solutions.
Strategic Initiatives: Lead high-value strategic initiatives by structuring complex business problems, conducting rigorous quantitative analysis, and delivering clear recommendations to executive audiences.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Proactively collaborate and exchange information with a diverse set of stakeholders, including executive leaders, to co-create deliverables, drive alignment, and foster a data-driven culture.
