Contribute to vendor and partner evaluations, assisting with analysis for trials and integrations.

Practical troubleshooting skills on live pages (logs, network calls, console), with a focus on learning and repeatability.
Collaborative and coachable, confident acting as a subject-matter resource while knowing when to escalate complexity.
Strong written and verbal communication, including documenting processes and presenting to non-technical stakeholders.
Degree in a quantitative or analytical discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
