• Lead analytical deep dives into product velocity, pipeline friction, and development timelines using timestamp analysis.
• Develop Bayesian forecasting models to predict outcomes such as launch timing, completion risk, or capacity gaps.
• Construct crosstab analyses and experimental frameworks to assess impact of interventions or process changes.
• Define measurement frameworks and partner with teams to set meaningful targets that drive accountability.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with product managers, engineers, and finance leads to embed data thinking into everyday decisions.
