About the job
What You’ll Do
- Translate business needs into data analysis and actionable insights to optimize product performance and user experience for both existing and new products.
- Work closely with product managers, engineers, and other cross-functional stakeholders to identify critical product questions and provide data-driven solutions.
- Develop and maintain a scalable, reliable, and accurate analytics infrastructure to support product decisions.

- Deliver actionable insights and recommendations focused on landing tangible product impact.
- Help foster a culture of data-driven decision-making and continuous improvement within the product teams.
- Ensure the integrity and accuracy of the data used for analysis and reporting.

- Expertise in translating complex data into insights that are actionable for cross-functional teams.

- Experience in building and maintaining reliable analytics infrastructures.
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to clearly present data insights to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Experience with 0 to 1 product initiatives is a plus, though not required.
- A high level of accountability, a passion for continuous learning, and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
Qualifications
- Degree in Analytics, Applied Mathematics, Economics, Statistics, or related analytical field of study, or an equivalent combination of training and experience.
- Deep experience in working with exploratory analysis projects related to cohorting, time series analysis, and funnel analysis/optimization is required.
- Expert-level proficiency in influencing product strategy with SQL, A/B testing, machine learning, statistical analysis, and related tools like R, Python, SAS, etc., is required.
- Previous or current experience supporting SaaS (Product-Led Growth) companies with uncovering gaps and recalibrating activation metrics (e.g., aha/habit moments) is a huge plus.
- Experience with Product Analytics tools to track end-to-end journeys/funnels (Amplitude, Heap, Mixpanel) and analyzing events within those products is essential.
- Proven ability to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic startup environment with a high level of adaptability and a strong product sense, ensuring insights align with customer needs and product goals.
