- Executive Challenge: Act as a strategic counterweight to the executive team, presenting data that validates or invalidates high-priority roadmaps or strategic initiatives

- What We Offer:
- Impact from day one: You have the authority to rebuild the data function and tech stack from the ground up

- Transparent and open culture: From regular team updates to open Slack channels, we keep communication honest and decisions collaborative
