· Influence leaders and teams across Amazon, sometimes challenging proposed solutions while fiercely advocating for the employee.
· Challenge assumptions of why a process or service failed; ask the tough questions to get to the root cause of the problem.
· Identify trends and themes in the data to see where we have larger issues that need to be addressed; meet with service owners to discuss the data and determine how to move forward with next steps.
· Regular reporting in MBRs and QBRs, as well as ad hoc reporting for service and business leaders; includes analysis of data, presentation of dashboards, and writing business reviews.
