• Be the product owner: rollout, train, and support people on the tools you’ve developed. For example, learn our flagship publishing data application and answer specific user support questions.
• Work directly with book publishing professionals and executives (editors, marketers, publishers, sales, and finance) to answer their daily business questions related to billings, market analyses, etc. 
• Actively seek out analytical applications across the company to build a data-driven culture.
