- Shape business decisions: Partner with Product, Growth, and Marketing to translate insights into strategies and concrete initiatives.
- Measure impact rigorously: Build frameworks to evaluate product launches, experiments, and marketing initiatives - separating real effects from noise, seasonality, or external factors.
- Design smart segmentation: Develop and refine customer segmentation models to guide marketing, monetization, and product strategies.

- Exposure to consulting or cross-functional project ownership is welcome, provided it’s paired with hands-on analytical execution.
- Curiosity-driven: you see anomalies, dig deeper, and ask “why?”
- Business-first mindset: metrics, dashboards, and models serve outcomes - not the other way around
- Proactive & transformational: you don’t wait for asks - you spot what matters and drive it forward
- Structured & methodical: your approach to data quality, validation, and automation gives teams confidence
