• Partner with Engineering to investigate data quality issues, understand underlying causes, and help drive solutions.
• Translate complex findings into clear, actionable insights for internal teams and external stakeholders.

What You'll Bring

• Strong Snowflake/SQL skills and experience working with large, complex datasets. Sigma experience a strong plus.
