• Monitor and interpret leading and lagging indicators such as product adoption, customer health, pipeline coverage, and sales velocity to proactively identify business risks and opportunities.
• Identify and interpret patterns, trends, and emerging signals—including in situations with incomplete data—using strong analytical judgment, assumptions, and proxies as needed.
• Independently identify and pursue industry trends, market developments, and emerging technologies, proactively incorporating relevant insights into analytical approaches and recommendations.
• Ensure accuracy and reliability by incorporating robust checks and balances into reports, dashboards, and models.
• Collaborate with cross‑functional partners to translate business needs into clear, detailed technical requirements and ensure alignment on definitions and methodologies for core SaaS metrics.

• Demonstrate strong self-direction by proactively identifying emerging trends, relevant metrics, and analytical opportunities, leveraging innovative approaches to obtain insights and inform decision making
• Proven ability to support data-driven decision-making, at all levels, through well-structured analysis, clear narratives, and strategic recommendations.
• Solid understanding of core financial, subscription revenue, and business concepts.
• Strong data visualization and data storytelling capabilities
