• Develop and own analytics for authored search rules and enhancement projects with business stakeholders. 

• Create, implement, and enforce search operations best practices and guidelines documentation for colleagues. 

• Monitor search analytics dashboards, looking for red flags and opportunities for improvements; propose initiatives based on those insights. 

• Develop process and governance standards to collect critical search performance data and content, as part of existing processes. 

Minimum Education Requirement: Bachelor’s degree, or equivalent years of applicable experience.
