Responsibilities
Lead deep dives into map quality issues to identify organizational breakdowns, workflow vulnerabilities, and metric anomalies. You will move beyond surface-level fixes to understand fundamental root causes and generate robust, scalable solutions
Serve as the connector between Engineering/Product and Operations. You will prioritize and contextualize operational escalations for technical stakeholders while simultaneously translating complex logic into clear, watertight, and executable guidance for Mapping Operators
Manage progress on multiple disparate initiatives, ensuring next steps are clear and deadlines are aligned. You will maintain momentum by proactively revitalizing stale workstreams and closing the loop with clear summaries upon completion
Scrutinize data trends to back up assertions and explore anomalies. You will keep analyses structured and reproducible, leveraging tooling to find creative solutions or developing heuristics to surmount roadblocks when perfect data isn't available
Qualification
Required
Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience

Exceptional communication skills. You can distill complex technical logic into clear, impossible-to-misunderstand instructions for non-technical audiences
Comfort with ambiguity. You have a history of making pragmatic decisions and maintaining momentum even when data is incomplete or processes are undefined
Preferred
