The Manager of Analytics Business Partners leads the group that serves as the voice of the business inside Data & Analytics’ operating model. Each Analytics Business Partner (ABP) is the Business Lead of a domain-focused, cross-functional delivery pod. ABPs owns the pod’s backlog, acceptance criteria, and stakeholder outcomes. This role manages analytics intake, routes work to the appropriate pod, coordinates cross-pod initiatives, and tracks demand, capacity, and results for D&A leadership.

• Define and own the enterprise intake process for data and analytics requests, making sure every request is reviewed, receives a clear decision, and reaches the right team. 

• Maintain a consistent approach to prioritization across pods so that work is ranked on business value and stakeholders know where their requests stand. 

• Coordinate work that spans multiple pods or depends on shared platform teams, resolving sequencing conflicts and bringing trade-offs to business sponsors when scope or timing needs to change. 

• Lead quarterly planning with pod leads and D&A leadership, and report on demand, capacity, and delivery performance. 

• Establish and cultivate relationships with business leaders across product, strategy, finance, sales, account management, clinical, and internal functions to understand their goals and shape analytics needs early. 

• Assess how delivered solutions are used and whether they produce the expected business value, and share the results with stakeholders and D&A leadership. 

• Partner with data engineering, analytics, data science, data governance, and product management teams to keep roles and ownership clear. 

• Promote self-service and data literacy (in partnership with the Data Literacy Manager), steering recurring requests toward reusable data assets. 

• Continuously improve how the ABP team and the pods work together, using stakeholder feedback and delivery results.
