- Help product teams move from opinion-led decisions to repeatable test-and-learn practices.
Own analytics platforms and data quality
- Own the Amplitude data stack, including instrumentation strategy, event taxonomy, governance, data quality, and integration with warehouse reporting.
- Set standards for product instrumentation and ensure new releases can be measured reliably.
- Set standards for and review analytical models and pipelines, ensuring metrics remain traceable, reproducible, and trusted as products evolve.
