  • Identify growth opportunities by analyzing engagement patterns, buying committees, account behaviors, and customer lifecycle signals to inform channel allocation, campaign design and sales motions.
  • Build an integrated view of prospect intent and customer value indicators to ensure consistent, data-driven activation, personalization, and prioritization across GTM teams.
• Cross-Functional Leadership & Collaboration
  • Serve as the analytical “center of gravity” for GTM decisions across Commercial.
  • Translate complex analytics into clear guidance for executives and ops teams.
  • Partner with MarTech, Digital, and Data Science to operationalize analytical outputs into automated workflows (e.g., scoring models, dashboards, triggers).
• Team Leadership & Development
  • Lead and grow a team of analysts and data stewards across performance analytics, forecasting, and insights.
  • Set analytical standards, including methodologies, governance, and storytelling best practices.
