About the role
- Own business and economic decision support for key product areas:
- Serve as the business counterpart for economically material product questions.
- Quantify expected ROI, unit economics, and tradeoffs to help Product make faster, higher-confidence decisions.
- Produce decision-ready recommendations that clarify options and implications.
- Bring economic rigor to spend, pricing, and monetization decisions:
- Evaluate incentive and growth spend using payback, LTV, and ROI analysis to inform investment decisions.
- Partner with Product, Data, and Finance to assess fees, take-rates, and pricing changes and their impact on growth, revenue, and user experience.
- Recommend clear paths forward with explicit tradeoffs (e.g., when to subsidize vs. monetize) and success metrics to measure outcomes.
- Increase decision velocity through end-to-end analysis and cross-functional alignment:
- Apply an 80/20 mindset, prioritizing speed, impact, and decision clarity over exhaustive analysis.
- Own analyses end-to-end—from framing and data pulls to modeling, synthesis, and stakeholder alignment.
- Build lightweight, repeatable frameworks (e.g., incentives evaluation, pricing reviews, unit economics tracking) that scale decision-making across teams.
- Act as connective tissue across EPD and Operations/Finance for financially material decisions.
- Example work:
- Evaluate incentive programs to quantify incremental lift, payback, and ROI, and provide decision-ready recommendations on program design, spend levels, and measurement approach.
- Analyze unit economics across Phantom’s money movement and trading products (fees, take-rates, variable costs) and support pricing decisions with clear tradeoffs and expected impact.
- Benchmark competitors across product features, pricing, and incentives to clarify Phantom’s positioning and inform decision-making on monetization and investment tradeoffs.
Requirements
- An operator mindset—you think in tradeoffs, sequencing, and Phantom-specific constraints.
- Comfort operating autonomously, turning ambiguity into structured decisions without hand-holding.
- Credibility as a cross-functional partner with Product, Data, and Finance.

- Advanced Excel and SQL.
- 4+ years of experience.
