We are looking for a Senior Semantic AI Analyst to join the Distribution Intelligence team. This role proactively leads complex semantic subject areas, governed metric design, validation frameworks, and AI/BI enablement practices for Distribution. The senior analyst will define standards and operating models that ensure semantic assets reflect how the business thinks, remain trusted as data evolves, and scale across reporting, self-service analytics, and AI-driven insights.

The ideal candidate will bring deep semantic-layer, metric-governance, and validation experience together with strong cross-functional facilitation. This person will resolve complex business concepts, establish scalable standards, and lead roadmap and adoption work across reporting, self-service analytics, and AI-driven experiences.

• Stakeholder Partnership & Roadmap:
• Partner with senior business, data, engineering, architecture, analytics, and AI stakeholders to resolve ambiguous concepts and prioritize semantic roadmap work.
  
  

• Validation & Change Impact:
• Design validation frameworks and answer-evaluation methods that measure semantic accuracy, completeness, explainability, and business usefulness.
• Lead impact assessments for semantic changes, including downstream BI, AI, reporting, data-quality, and adoption implications.
  
  

• Reuse & Team Leadership:
• Identify opportunities to reuse semantic patterns across subject areas and reduce duplicated metric or business-rule logic.
• Mentor analysts and set review standards for semantic definitions, example-question libraries, test evidence, and stakeholder communication.
