So you'll have to be comfortable with making progress with incomplete or imperfect information.In your first few months, you'll:Help us understand our users and business better by working with engineering to improve data availability, quality and usability. You may also engage on specific data-heavy projects to help solve business problems.This starts with fully understanding the issue you are trying to solve by having conversations with business users of data, examining analytics and usage patterns of the data platform, and whatever else is required.
