- Feedback Loops: Aggressively collect and analyze client feedback to iterate on instructions and improve output immediately.
Strategic Collaboration
- Marketing Technical Input: Collaborate with Marketing to provide the technical "meat" for case studies and white papers that demonstrate our expertise.
- Cross-Functional Bridge: Serve as the connector between the commercial side (Clients/Sales) and the production side (Data Ops), ensuring no technical nuance is lost in translation.
