- When clients receive your work product, they know they need you on the next project.

What will you do?
- Partner with the Content team to understand their goals, how they think about their area of the business, and how we can support them through analytics.
- Architect and engineer tools, visualizations and dashboards for Content to have everything they need at their fingertips to answer their difficult questions.
- Produce dashboards / visualizations for Content to explore

What do you know?
- SQL. Teradata or other parallel database experience a plus.
