  • Define and track Academy success metrics, including user engagement, course completion rates, adoption, NPS, and revenue attribution. Partner with data-focused analysts to run experiments and turn insights into program decisions.
  • Develop an evaluation framework to track class performance and instructor efficacy.

What You Have
