2. Design and implement a first POC (proof of concept) that is “sufficient but necessary” to prove the value of omnichannel personalization
3. Establish a rigorous cycle of test & learn (both technically and process-wise) that enables identifying, explaining, and scaling the “bright spots” which were successful while iterating on and, thereby, gradually eliminating “failures”

• Design, set up and implement proves of concept leveraging the individuals’ expertise on the team to ensure rigor in methods, speed in execution, and quality of learnings
• Understand and fully use the technological capabilities related to the new platform to run and evaluate a significant number of simultaneous tests to increase and speed up learning
• Communicate recommendations based on clear, upfront-chosen performance criteria to roll back, iterate or productionize models after a given test
• Translates the quarterly QBR roadmap into team backlog and prioritize backlog
• Establishes and maintains team ceremonies for work management
• Identifies and escalates roadblocks to leadership when resources are not sufficient
• Provides thought leadership on deep dive analyses on test results and recommendations
• Provides input on opportunities areas to leadership to inform roadmap

• Strong team management skills including the ability to determine the critical few requirements for milestone/deliverable success and to plan for near-term and long-term growth.
• Strong “translator” and interpersonal skills, to lead a cross-functional team of Data Scientists, Insights & Visualization Specialists, and Domain Specialists
