What You Will Get To Do

• Champion the use of data to inform product strategy, ensuring that product teams understand and use metrics before, during, and after delivery.
• Define and embed leading and lagging indicators that give a clear picture of customer behaviour, engagement, retention, and lifetime value.
• Be the analytics expert and motivator within the team, raising the standard of product decision‑making across the organisation.

Customer Insight & Experimentation

• Build frameworks for customer journey analytics to identify frictions, drop‑offs, and opportunities to create delight.
• Lead A/B and multivariate testing, helping teams validate hypotheses and measure the real impact of features.
• Partner with UX research and design to blend qualitative and quantitative insights.

Tools & Data Infrastructure

• Identify and work closely with the engineering team to develop the sources of data needed to ensure full visibility over our customers’ interactions with our products.
• Own, setup and optimise the use of analytics tools such as Google Analytics, Looker, PowerBI, Tableau, Superset, and Snowflake.
• Write and review SQL/Python queries to extract, transform, and analyse data from multiple sources.
• Ensure data quality, accuracy, and accessibility to empower product teams with reliable reporting.

Decision Support & Reporting

• Deliver actionable insights to product managers, engineers, and business leaders, enabling faster and better decision‑making.
• Translate complex data into clear stories and recommendations for both technical and non‑technical audiences.
• Develop dashboards and self‑serve reporting tools for the wider business.
• Work closely with product managers, engineers, and business leaders to shape roadmaps and prioritisation using evidence.
• Influence product culture, embedding data‑informed thinking into everyday ways of working.
• Provide informal coaching and knowledge‑sharing to help team members strengthen their own analytics capabilities.

What You Will Bring

• Bachelor's degree required; MBA or relevant Master's a plus.
• Proven experience as a Product Analyst, Data Analyst, or similar role, with at least 4+ years spent at a senior level in product‑led organisations.
• Strong track record in product analytics, delivering insights that drive measurable improvements in conversion, retention, engagement, and revenue.
• Expert in SQL and comfortable with Python or R for data manipulation and analysis.
• Hands‑on experience with implementation of product analytics and BI tools (e.g. GA, Looker, Power BI, Tableau, Superset, Snowflake or others such as Mixpanel, Amplitude, etc).
• Deep understanding of experimentation frameworks, including A/B testing and cohort analysis.
• Experience working in SaaS, B2B, or financial services (regulated industry background a plus).
• Familiar with product metrics such as activation, adoption, retention, LTV, and churn.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to turn complex data into simple, compelling narratives.
• Comfortable working as the senior analytics IC, setting standards and influencing teams without direct authority.
• Curiosity, creativity, and a passion for motivating others to embrace data‑informed decision‑making.
