About the role

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.
  • Establish and maintain best practices for data collection, analysis, and reporting.
  • 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.

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

  • 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.
