• Ensure data quality, tracking integrity, and alignment across Firebase, Appsflyer, Iterable, Sendbird and downstream reporting
• Provide coaching and non‑line‑management mentorship to analysts across six Mobile Growth sub‑teams
• Drive knowledge sharing through documentation, forums and best‑practice guidance
• Improve analytics delivery through prioritisation frameworks, process optimisation and workflow management
• Support coordination of analytics demand across multiple Product teams
• Lead or contribute to wider A&I functional improvement initiatives

Requirements

• Deep expertise in SQL and data modelling using modern data stacks (Snowflake, DBT)
• Strong experience with mobile analytics platforms such as Firebase, Appsflyer and Iterable
• Demonstrated ability to influence senior stakeholders without direct authority
• Excellent analytical and problem‑solving skills
• Strong commercial mindset with the ability to connect analytics to tangible business outcomes
• Experience mentoring and developing analysts across different skill levels
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to clearly explain complex insights
• Fluent English (spoken and written)
