• Works with Operations and Platform Product teams to improve signal quality, reduce downstream fallout, and ensure early-funnel improvements translate into end-to-end funnel efficiency.
• Co-creates growth bets with the Innovation Lab, shaping test design and accelerating transition of successful prototypes into scaled products.
• Builds and maintains trusted dashboards that connect leading indicators (contact rate, engagement signals, routing performance) to downstream outcomes and revenue impact.
