• AI-enabled capabilities reduce manual analysis effort and increase the speed, reach, and consistency of insight delivery.

Qualifications

• At least 7–10 years of experience in software engineering, product development, engineering operations, product operations, consulting, analytics, or related leadership roles.
• Experience working directly with senior leadership teams and influencing decision-making through data-driven insights.
• Strong understanding of modern software engineering practices, software delivery lifecycles, and organizational effectiveness.
• Deep understanding of software delivery effectiveness frameworks and metrics, including DORA, SPACE, flow metrics, developer experience, and the appropriate use of metrics as signals rather than targets.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Proven ability to translate complex datasets into clear executive-level insights and actionable recommendations.
• Experience driving operational improvements through influence rather than direct authority.
• Experience facilitating continuous improvement and organizational change initiatives.
