Your focus will be on creating and executing on a vision to sustainably grow the consumer base across Australia, whilst balancing long-term marketplace health and promotion spend.

This is a highly visible team with fast feedback loops, where ideas quickly turn into live experiences and impact can be seen in real time across consumer engagement, order growth and dollars earned for merchants. The initiatives you own will directly impact merchants from the Restaurants and New Verticals teams, and you will partner closely with the Product, Marketing, Ads & Promotions teams to deliver on your vision.

• 5+ years of experience in consulting, strategy, operations, product, technology, banking, analytics or related experience
• A bias for action - you are a relentless and independent problem solver, are a “do-er” and can influence and challenge effectively, to execute creative solutions.
• Proven analytics skills - Intermediate SQL knowledge and competency with dashboards is required.
• Strong business acumen - you are able to identify the “so what” from data, interdependencies between performance metrics and translate them into operational strategy.
