Experience using AI-assisted development tools and workflows to accelerate analysis, prototyping, coding, documentation, and data-product development while independently validating outputs and applying sound judgment. Familiarity with emerging AI and BI capabilities such as natural-language interfaces, automated insights, semantic layers, and agentic workflows, with the ability to assess how these technologies can improve analytical products and customer experiences. Demonstrated track record of setting direction and leading complex, cross-functional initiatives with meaningful product or business impact. Deep proficiency in SQL and strong working knowledge of Python, R, or a comparable analytical programming language.
