• Serve as the primary conduit between Analytics and Data Platform Engineering, aligning on shared infrastructure, data contracts, and pipeline architecture.
• Own and evolve WHOOP's semantic layer, ensuring consistency and accuracy of key metrics across all downstream tools and consumers.
• Define and enforce coding standards, documentation practices, and development processes (CI/CD, code reviews, testing requirements, data quality monitoring).
• Lead strategic data initiatives spanning multiple teams and business outcomes, from scoping through execution.
• Maintain strong knowledge of industry trends and tooling developments; evaluate and introduce technologies that improve team leverage — including AI-assisted development and data tooling.
• Partner with Analytics leadership and cross-functional teams to build and evolve the data strategy at WHOOP.
• Interface with senior leadership to design, plan, and communicate data strategy and roadmap.
