Technical Analytics & Data Problem Solving • Independent Debugging: Proactively identify and resolve data discrepancies across platforms, including tagging issues, bot traffic, and browser/device-specific impacts. • Validation & QA: Utilize browser developer tools and tag management systems to validate data layers and debug data collection without heavy reliance on engineering. • Advanced Data Retrieval: Leverage Adobe Data Feeds and SQL to perform complex analysis beyond the limitations of standard reporting interfaces. • Measurement Gaps: Identify white spaces in current tracking and recommend scalable implementation solutions to capture emerging customer behaviors. 1. Analytics Productization & Reporting • Scalable Dashboards: Design and maintain automated, cross-source reporting frameworks in Adobe Analysis Workspace and BI tools (e.g., Tableau, Power BI). • Data Democratization: Standardize KPIs and methodologies to improve the accessibility and usability of analytics for non-technical business owners. • Methodology Governance: Establish consistent definitions and reporting logic across the ecommerce and marketing teams to ensure a "single source of truth." 1. Cross-functional Partnership & Operations • Strategic Advisory: Collaborate with Product, UX, and Engineering teams to evaluate the performance of initiatives and define measurement strategies for new features. • Intake Management: Manage the prioritization of analytics requests, ensuring the team stays focused on the highest-impact business questions. • Process Improvement: Maintain documentation of workflows and SDRs (Solution Design Reference) to improve overall analytics governance and tool usability.
