Conceptualize, champion, and assist in implementing tech-based solutions and low-code/no-code automations (e.g., using tools like Zapier or Make.com) to significantly improve speed and reduce human error.

Systematically gather, synthesize, and analyze stakeholder feedback (internal and external) and market data to provide actionable, evidence-based insights to the Product and Engineering teams, influencing the development of scalable tech solutions.
Collect, organize, and rigorously analyze operational, sales, and logistical data using advanced Excel/spreadsheet functions to track KPIs and identify critical trends and areas for immediate improvement.
