Experience operating in an agile delivery environment (sprints, backlog management, sprint reporting, prioritization with stakeholders)
Knowledge (theoretical or practical understanding of a subject) Value realization governance, including baseline design, measurement logic, and decision status tracking (realized / deferred / declined / cancelled)
Operational performance metrics and KPI frameworks supporting Network Optimization and DSC decision-making
Data governance concepts including metric definitions, validation approaches, exception management, and reporting integrity controls
Agile delivery practices for analytics/reporting teams including sprint cycles, backlog planning, and stakeholder capacity allocation
Advanced Power BI development (data modeling, DAX, performance optimization, publish/manage refresh, stakeholder-friendly UX)
Value realization reporting design and communication, including translating complex calculation logic and outcomes into leadership-ready narratives
Backlog management and sprint leadership (prioritization, sprint reporting, exception reporting, delivery transparency)
Cross-functional requirements gathering, stakeholder management, and expectation setting in a fast-moving operational environment

Ability to translate complex data and calculation logic into clear, actionable business insights and decisions for senior leadership and diverse stakeholders

Responsibilities

Own the Value Realization (VR) operating rhythm for Network Optimization and DSC, including the intake, definition, prioritization, and tracking of VR opportunities through to outcomes and leadership reporting
Lead VR measurement design by defining baselines, calculation logic, and governance required to quantify cumulative value captured versus baseline performance (not simple year-over-year reporting)
Own and maintain a structured VR pipeline (tracker + reporting) and ensure VR items can be referenced by stakeholders across “presented, committed, prepared for upcoming meetings,” and decision status outcomes (realized / deferred / declined / cancelled)
Partner with functional leads and program teams to align and finalize VR formulas/metrics, ensure readiness for development handoff, and drive validation of calculations prior to broad distribution of results
Deliver executive-ready VR updates and reporting narratives that clearly communicate “what value was delivered, how it was delivered, what is at risk, and what actions are required”
Own enterprise analytics and reporting delivery for Network Optimization, ensuring consistent KPI definitions, repeatable reporting methods, and clear decision support
Develop, enhance, and sustain Power BI dashboards and reporting products that support operational and leadership decision-making, including continuous improvement and enhancements driven through backlog prioritization
Drive automation of VR and reporting refresh processes to reduce manual intervention, partnering with technical delivery teams to convert manual refreshes into stable automated pipelines wherever feasible
Lead reporting governance for accuracy and auditability: maintain metric definitions, document assumptions, manage exception handling, and implement validation checks to ensure reporting integrity
Implement and manage an agile analytics delivery model, including sprint planning, sprint reporting, backlog grooming, and stakeholder point allocation to align capacity to business priorities
Own sprint reporting communications and ensure transparency of completed work, in-flight items, and backlog priorities, including exception reporting as required for leadership visibility
Support transition and adoption of work management tooling (e.g., Jira) and ensure the team operates with standardized workflows, definitions of done, and repeatable reporting of progress
Lead cross-functional stakeholder management: elicit requirements, translate business needs into measurable KPIs and reporting capabilities, manage expectations, and communicate trade-offs
Provide advanced analytical support for time-sensitive leadership deliverables (e.g., board memo support / ad-hoc analysis requests) where prioritization and rapid turnaround are critical
Own reporting ecosystem dependencies that impact dashboards and data products (e.g., changes to upstream systems or APIs), including assessing impact, coordinating updates, and restoring reporting continuity
Enable stakeholder adoption of analytics and VR outputs by developing probing/feedback mechanisms, capturing examples of decisions made using reporting, and feeding learnings back into product enhancements
Lead data quality and exception identification within VR and analytics reporting (e.g., anomalies, missing data, non-reporting assets) and coordinate resolution approaches with functional and technical partners
Contribute to role design and resourcing decisions by maintaining a clear definition of responsibilities, capabilities, and scope required for the evolved role (reflecting expanded scope added over time)
