What is an example of a typical problem this job must solve and how it would be solved?

Within this role, the Lead must provide actionable data/tools that business users can use to make decisions without complete information. Incomplete data is inherent to the nature of our work, so the individual must use various techniques to try to fill in the gaps to make the data actionable, including modeling and developing logic to triangulate multiple datasets. Ad-hoc requests from the business can be vague and ever-evolving, so the Lead must understand the unique nature of requests to both build data/tools themselves, as well as efficiently coordinate resources at hand, to effectively address business unit needs in an ongoing manner.
