Roles & Responsibilities

Analytics Delivery, Tools & AI Products

• Product co-ownership: Serve as dedicated product co-owner for the Agentic MMx (Marketing Mix) and Always on Insights (AOI) Platform – partner on its strategy, vision, roadmap, and stakeholder alignment in collaboration with BI&T and Data Science. Drive the ongoing evolution of this self-service analytics hub to deliver advanced capabilities, including MMx, scenario simulation, investment planning, constrained optimization, and real-time decision support.
• Workflow integration: Partner with BI&T to integrate decision-science outputs into annual planning, CRM (e.g., Veeva), and omnichannel orchestration workflows via APIs and embedded dashboards to ensure sustained adoption and business impact.
• Monitoring & oversight: Support monitoring and governance dashboards for real-time oversight of model/data health, user adoption, SLAs, drift/stability, and auditability.
• Collaboration: Partner with BI&T, Data Science, TA Analytics, and engineering to deliver analytics-ready datasets, feature stores, semantic layers, and automated data pipelines, standardizing and accelerating insight generation.
• Efficiency and Innovation: Champion automation, templated workflows, and platform creation to reduce manual effort and external vendor reliance, maximizing reuse and operational efficiency. Continuously identify opportunities for tool innovation and scalable enablement of best practice measurement solutions.

Agentic & AI Capability Development

• Support the design and deployment of autonomous and semi-autonomous analytics agents using multi-agent frameworks, enabling progression from descriptive analytics to causal analysis, root-cause insights, and predictive recommendations.
• Contribute to the AI product lifecycle—proof-of-concept, pilot, rollout, and continuous optimization—while helping establish governance covering safety, security, ethical standards, and privacy compliance.
• Operationalize LLMs for commercial use cases such as knowledge retrieval, summarization, generative analytics, and automation of insight generation.

Stakeholder Partnership & Strategic Support

• Partner closely with US Commercial stakeholders, Global Analytics, OCx, Marketing, UX/Design, and BI&T to understand business needs, scope analytical solutions, and design impactful deliverables.
• Act as a strategic thought partner—helping stakeholders frame decisions, interpret insights, and understand trade-offs and implications.
• Articulate ROI and business cases to guide AI investment, prioritization, and resource-allocation decisions—quantifying expected business lift against cost, effort, and risk.
• Collaborate closely with UX/Design to shape intuitive, user-centered product experiences that maximize adoption, ease of use, and stakeholder trust.
• Manage and prioritize competing business demands across time zones to ensure alignment with strategic objectives and effective demand management for the Hyderabad hub.

Technical Oversight, Governance, Compliance & Trust

• Oversee all technical tasks performed by the analytics team, including dashboards, business rules, documentation, automated pipelines, and model governance.
• Coordinate with BI&T teams to ensure reliable, timely, and scalable data flows into downstream analytics and reporting solutions.
• Partner with Data Governance, Legal, and Privacy teams to apply data/AI governance: SLAs, RACI, privacy-by-design, and responsible/ethical AI controls.
• Ensure analytical outputs are well-documented, reproducible, explainable, auditable, and compliant—monitoring for bias and incorporating human-in-the-loop mechanisms where required.
