• Identify opportunities to apply advanced analytics and AI/ML to business problems across portfolio planning, issue management, vehicle telematics, and program execution

Stakeholder Engagement & Strategic Influence

• Build and maintain strong relationships with business partners across Embedded Controls, Software & Services, and broader GM organizations
• Partner with your team to identify opportunities for analytics solutions and data-driven process improvements
• Represent the organization in cross-functional forums, leadership reviews, and strategic planning discussions
• Communicate team progress, priorities, and impacts clearly to leadership at all levels

Change Leadership

• Champion a data-first culture within GM, influencing how teams consume and act on data insights
