• Lead the development and maintenance of data models, schemas, and database structures to support various business initiatives, analytics, and strategic problem solving.
• Build analytical frameworks and models that identify leading indicators across fraud/quality, agency life cycle management, incentives, comparative rater performance, sales deployments, retention, etc.
• Conduct deep‑dive analyses that unpack root causes, quantify impact, and recommend clear, actionable solutions.
• Develop early‑signal detection mechanisms and monitoring tools that proactively surface risks or opportunities before they appear in top‑line KPIs.

Stakeholder collaboration:

• Partner with executive leadership and other departments to identify business needs and translate them into data analytics solutions.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to understand business requirements and translate them to technical specifications for database design and implementation.
• Collaborate with Tech Teams to ensure availability, reliability, and security of our data systems.
• Work closely with Agency, Product, Marketing, and Field Operations leaders to understand their toughest problems and deliver insights that influence decisions.
• Bridge business context and technical execution by guiding teams toward the right analytical approaches.
• Translate complex analytics into clear narratives that support senior‑level storytelling and operational alignment.
