Responsibilities

Own End-to-End Product Delivery & Client Commitments: Oversee product deliveries in partnership with Technology to ensure client commitments are met, from initial Data Evaluation Agreement testing through implementation, onboarding and handoff to Business Development. Own SLA performance and delivery commitments through go-live and steady state, serving as the single point of accountability for delivery risks, escalations, and client testing and implementation questions.
Accelerate Evaluation-to-Contract Conversion: Partner with clients and Product Solution Consultants to set test objectives, timelines and success criteria at the start of each Data Evaluation. Coordinate evaluation materials such as sample files, data dictionaries, methodology notes and FAQs, track evaluation-to-contract conversion and time-to-decision, and feed client objections, data gaps and feature requests to Product Management.
Lead Client Implementations from Contract to Go-Live: Translate contract terms into clear delivery requirements, including data specifications, file formats, delivery cadence, permitted use and SLAs. Run each implementation with a defined project plan, task owners, milestones and status updates, define go-live readiness through client acceptance testing and sign-off, and partner with Finance so billing and revenue recognition begin at go-live.
Establish a Strong Foundation for Business Development Handoff: Manage a defined post-launch support period with clear exit criteria and confirm early client adoption before handoff. Deliver a standard handoff package, including client contacts, use cases, configuration, SLA terms, open issues and expansion opportunities, so Business Development begins with a healthy account.
Ensure Reliable Steady-State Operations: Manage delivery incidents such as data delays, restatements and quality issues, including client communication and root-cause analysis. Proactively notify clients of schema, methodology or panel changes, and deliver expansions for existing clients, such as new data sets or panels.
Build a Scalable Product Delivery Practice: Create a standard delivery playbook of repeatable processes, templates and checklists across product types and delivery models, including direct clients and channel partners. Establish delivery KPIs and a portfolio-level risk view for leadership, forecast Technology and Analytics capacity against the sales pipeline, and identify opportunities to automate delivery and monitoring using DCS AI tools.
