The role is accountable for translating insights into prioritised actions, stakeholder alignment, and measurable outcomes.

4) Own propensity use-cases and what to model requirements

• Define and prioritise modelling use-cases (lead quality scoring, cross-sell propensity, retention risk, next-best-action).
• Set model acceptance criteria from a business lens (interpretability, operational usability, monitoring requirements).
• Translate model outputs into operating rules (how the business will use the scores in targeting, routing, and outreach).
  

5) Dashboard and performance governance (what must be reported)

• Define the CPG KPI framework and scorecard structure across Acquisition, Cross-sell, Lifecycle, Retention, Partnerships & Digital.
• Specify dashboard requirements and the performance narrative cadence (weekly/monthly/quarterly).
• Drive action-from-insight governance: what decisions are made off the dashboards and who owns follow-through.
  

6) Experimentation and learning agenda

• Define test-and-learn priorities (what to test, target groups, success criteria, measurement approach).
• Translate experiment results into next wave strategy, targeting rules, and offer/campaign improvements.
  

7) Stakeholder leadership and cross-functional influence

• Facilitate alignment across CPG, CRM/IT, Data Analytics, Distribution, and Marketing on priorities, requirements, and decisions.
