Role Overview

In this remote, USA‑based role, you will serve as the analytical steward of CX360, ensuring that every metric, model, and insight is accurate, trustworthy, and aligned with business objectives. You will collaborate across Data Science, Engineering, Product, and Finance to validate data integrity, build predictive models, and translate complex analytics into clear, prioritized recommendations for senior leadership.

Key Responsibilities

• Strong collaboration skills, having partnered with Data Science, Engineering, Product, and Finance to move models from concept to production.
• Exceptional data visualization skills, with a portfolio of executive‑facing dashboards that translate statistical findings into actionable insights.
• Deep understanding of how customer experience metrics (GRR, CPO, CSAT, operational efficiency, cost‑to‑serve) tie into analytical outputs.
• Experience as a senior‑level individual contributor, setting analytical standards and influencing cross‑functional direction without direct authority.
• Passion for AI and related technologies, ready to thrive in a fast‑paced, innovation‑driven environment.
