## About the role

This is a wide reaching role where you will be able to work cross-functionally across the organization to support key decision making impacting future direction of the business. You will have unusual latitude to decide how the industry should be measured and modeled, and unusual visibility into how that work translates into commercial and investment decisions — at a point when AI is redefining the economics of storing data at scale.

- Proven track record of supporting and leading complex strategy projects from hypothesis development to recommendations
- Comfort operating with quantitative rigor in ambiguous, high-stakes decisions, including the judgment to know when data is good enough to act on
