  • Build scalable analytical assets, methodologies, or data science solutions that can be used repeatedly across the team or domain 

  • Mentor other team members by raising the bar on analytical thinking, structured problem solving, and data-informed decision making 

Experience & Qualifications:

  • You are proficient in SQL and at least one analytical programming language such as Python or R, and you are comfortable working with large-scale structured and semi-structured data 

  • You are effective at communicating insight, tradeoffs, and recommendations to technical and non-technical stakeholders

  • You have built or influenced KPI frameworks, decision models, or governance mechanisms that improved prioritization and execution 

  • You have experience mentoring other analysts or data scientists and contributing to stronger analytical standards across a team or domain 

  • You have worked with experimentation, causal inference, forecasting, segmentation, or other methods used to support strategic product and business decisions
