Discover what you can do at IBM.

The Data Strategist works with stakeholders to understand business objectives, define key performance indicators based on those objectives, and provide relevant traffic data, as well as analysis, insights and recommended actions. The data strategist delivers standard and ad hoc reports in a clear format for a broad business audience to help stakeholders determine what is working well and what areas need improvement. This individual will be part of an autonomous, cross-functional team that will typically include a product owner (team lead); a designer; a content lead; an information architect; a social business manager; and one or more developers.
