Beyond delivery, they serve as a trusted thought partner to Workplace leadership, shaping measurement strategies, defining success metrics, and advising on rigorous evaluation approaches.
To do this, the Insights Senior Manager must build deep fluency in the Workplace organization, its strategic priorities, and its programs, while cultivating strong, trust-based stakeholder relationships. Leveraging data from the Workplace lakehouse and integrating emerging data sources, the Senior Manager exercises sound assumptions and innovative thinking to solve ambiguous business challenges. Success in this role requires a strong bias toward action, deep curiosity about how the business operates, and a commitment to accuracy, clarity, and impact.
