6. Foster strong cross-functional relationships and establish yourself as a trusted advisor to team members.
7. Mentor and guide junior analysts to deliver high-impact work that drives business results.

What We Look For

• Practical and theoretical knowledge of A/B testing.
• Strong interpersonal skills and ability to work cross-functionally and influence both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Experience balancing multiple workstreams and prioritizing your own roadmap.
• Experience with SQL and performing statistical analysis using Python.
