• Identify opportunities to improve customer acquisition, retention, campaign ROI, and operational efficiency.


• Champion data governance, quality standards, and reporting consistency across the organization.


• Act as the bridge between technical teams and business stakeholders, translating complex data into actionable recommendations.

Skills & Qualifications

• 7–10 years of experience in Business Intelligence, Data Engineering, Analytics Engineering, or Commercial Analytics roles.


• Strong hands‑on expertise in SQL and data modelling.


• Experience building and maintaining modern data warehouses and ETL/ELT pipelines.


• Strong proficiency with BI tools such as Power BI, Tableau, Looker, or similar platforms.


• Experience with cloud platforms such as Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, AWS, or Azure.


• Working knowledge of Python for data processing, automation, or analytics.


• Strong understanding of customer analytics, commercial performance, and business KPIs.


• Experience supporting performance marketing analytics, attribution, ROAS, CAC, LTV, SKAN, and digital funnel measurement.


• Ability to deliver both descriptive and predictive analytics.


• Strong commercial acumen with the ability to identify growth opportunities through data.


• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills.


• Experience working with executive leadership and presenting business insights.


• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Information Systems, Engineering, Statistics, or related fields.

The Process

1. Initial screening with Global Head of HR

5. Final interview with CEO

Entire process typically concludes within 4–6 weeks.
