## Description

This is a role where you'll own opportunities and outcomes all the way from conversations with customers to testing hypotheses, running experiments, and proposing and delivering optimisations in our agent.

You will:

 * Be at the frontline of our product - talk to customers and align directly on what success looks like and how it's measured. You'll use raw, real-world data to form clear, actionable insights.
 * Directly optimise the performance of our agent, tuning and improving it against those metrics for every customer we onboard.
 * Own the optimisation flow end to end - you'll use data to translate opportunities into tangible improvements in our agent, and close the loop by delivering and demonstrating that value.
 * Get obsessive with the data: understand the data at the lowest level, then leverage this to form and test robust hypotheses about the bigger picture.
 * Work across multiple teams and functions to bring shared understanding of where the highest impact opportunities are and how we deliver on them. Own your work end to end and scope your own initiatives - you'll be given real trust and independence, not a ticket queue.
