• Frame ambiguous business questions into structured analytical problems and actionable insights.

• Independently extract, manipulate, and analyze data from multiple sources using SQL and/or other tools.

• Learn and apply Tableau to build impactful dashboards and visualizations (if not already experienced).

• Apply statistical methods such as regression, clustering, time series forecasting, etc., where applicable.

• Collaborate cross-functionally with strategy, marketing, product, and engineering teams.

• Stay current with industry trends, especially in travel, hospitality, or marketplace dynamics.

Experience and Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s in a technical or quantitative field (e.g., Engineering, Statistics, Business Analytics, Mathematics, Computer Science, or similar).

• Strong SQL skills are essential — you should be comfortable writing complex queries and working with large-scale data.

• Familiar with Tableau (or quick to learn) and comfortable building data visualizations.

• Strong analytical toolkit: statistical methods, scenario modeling, A/B testing, or predictive modeling experience.

• Business-savvy and interested in learning or expanding knowledge in the travel or vacation rental space.

• Demonstrated experience working independently and driving analyses from ideation to executive presentation.

• Excellent communication skills — able to translate technical details into business language.

• Self-motivated, curious, and unafraid to ask questions or dig deep to find answers.

• Comfortable with Python, R, or similar languages for deeper analysis (preferred but not required).

Bonus Points

• Experience working in the travel, hospitality, or marketplace space.

• Previous OKR ownership or strategic metric accountability.
