What am I doing:
Basically if a guy/a girl/that wants to get some statistics, some calculations or just plain data I am the (straight white) man.
If a person does not need how something should be calculated or a new way of making predictions should be made, I am the goto stat-man.

I am understanding what is needed, then I have to create reasonable and 'somewhat correct' assumptions.

Sometimes I make Shiny Apps - statistical tools available for the entire company. Then they do not have to ask me about simple classic cases all the time.
I also handle the Linux server on which the Shiny server is located.
