• Narrative & Visualization: Design clear, unambiguous narratives and data visualizations to communicate model outputs and analysis results to broad, non-technical audiences.
• Rapid Prototyping: Independently prototype and test new insights, moving from hypothesis to rigorous validation with minimal mentorship.
• Technical Consultation: Reason effectively about the strengths and weaknesses of different modeling approaches, selecting and iterating on combinations that suit specific marketing contexts.

• Programming & Libraries: Expert proficiency in Python or R for sophisticated multi-dimensional data sets (specifically libraries like CausalImpact and RStan).
• Data Carpentry: Advanced SQL skills to confidently manipulate and structure data.
• Data Platforms (Nice to have): Familiarity or experience working within Databricks and Snowflake environments.
