About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Lead analytics and technical discovery for a core product area
Partner with product, engineering and ML teams to tackle ambiguous problems where the path forward is unclear. You’ll independently identify opportunities for analysis, develop new approaches where existing methodologies fall short and generate insights that directly shape the product and ML roadmaps.
Influence product and business strategy
Provide a strategic lens to product thinking by connecting user behaviour, marketplace dynamics and commercial outcomes. Influence prioritisation decisions at both team and company level, acting as a thought partner. Challenge assumptions and raise the quality of decision making.
Design and run experiments
Define hypotheses, implement A/B tests, and rigorously evaluate impact with deep dives and customer behaviour insights to inform roll out decisions and future product development.
Work together with other teams to enable self-serve data driven decision making
Collaborate with product, platform and data teams to ensure scalable, accurate datasets for analysis. Develop dashboards and reporting that drive awareness and actionable insights.
