• Develop and test data-driven hypotheses; design robust experiments and campaign/feature evaluations, maintaining high measurement standards.
• Build measurement frameworks, define OKRs, and develop user segmentations and channel attribution techniques to improve efficiency and decision quality.
• Own end-to-end analytics: problem framing, instrumentation, data pipelines, modeling and experimentation (e.g., causal inference, forecasting, segmentation, attribution/MMM), and senior-level storytelling.
• Develop analytics tools and self-serve assets (dashboards, QA/debugging utilities, data summarizers, result analysis helpers), including GenAI-powered capabilities to accelerate insight generation.
• Collaborate with Product, Engineering, and Data teams to productionize models, automate workflows, and improve data quality and governance.
• Champion a data-driven culture across the organisation, driving adoption of decision frameworks and measurable impact.
