- Collaborate closely with Product, Engineering, Design, and Customer Success to influence product strategy through data.
- Help shape Vanta’s analytics strategy and AI measurement practices as the product and data platform evolves.
- Lead executive analytics reviews by translating complex analyses into clear recommendations that support company decisions.
