## Requirements

- SQL and advanced data analysis skills are required
- Strong analytical proficiency in Excel or equivalent tools; comfortable building performance models and synthesizing data into clear recommendations
- Proven track record of designing and executing A/B tests, optimizing campaigns, and translating results into strategic decisions
- Demonstrated ability to operate independently — you take full ownership of your channels and drive projects from inception to completion with minimal oversight
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment and adapting quickly to shifting business priorities
- AI Proficiency: creating custom agents, developing reusable skills/prompts, and integrating AI into day-to-day analytical and operational work to improve speed, quality, and scale
