• Support AI use case prioritization by assessing data feasibility (availability and accuracy) for use cases under consideration.

Strategy, Standards & Enablement

• Serve as the LCS data and analytics subject‑matter expert, guiding best practices for reporting, visualization, data governance, and AI‑adjacent analytics capabilities.

• Support integration initiatives, system changes, and new digital capabilities by ensuring data readiness, governance, and reporting alignment.

• Collaborate with AI, digital, and automation initiatives to ensure LCS data is prepared for AI models, copilots, and advanced analytics use cases.

• Contribute to the LCS Operational Excellence strategy by embedding analytics, governance, and AI‑ready data practices into business processes.

People & Stakeholder Leadership

• Lead a team of BI managers, data engineers, scientists and analysts (combination of direct and indirect), fostering a culture of collaboration, curiosity, and continuous improvement.

• Act as a trusted advisor to senior leaders, clearly communicating insights, risks, data limitations, and AI readiness considerations in a business‑focused manner.

• Educate and influence stakeholders on the importance of data quality, governance, and discipline as critical enablers of AI success.

• Build strong cross‑functional relationships across LCS, IT, Finance, Quality, Operations, and Digital/AI teams.
