• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to present complex data and insights to non-technical stakeholders
• Strong problem-solving skills and a results-oriented mindset
• Customer obsession
• Able to own and drive projects and products to production and iteratively improve them over time

It would be great if you also have

• Understanding how to query very large data efficiently (we use BigQuery)
• Experience collaborating with C-suite executives
• Experience with data from mobile applications
• Experience with data visualization and reporting tools, such as Tableau, Looker, or Power BI (we use Looker)
• A solid understanding of the engineering requirements necessary to put machine learning solutions into production and scale them to hundreds of millions of customers

What we offer

We support growth through learning resources, leadership programs, mentoring, and real hands‑on work. People can move between teams and projects to build new skills and keep things interesting. We offer clear internal mobility and a transparent path for progression, with leaders who stay involved and provide guidance throughout the year. In addition, you will benefit from:

• A comprehensive compensation package: We offer a competitive salary, 30 days of paid vacation, private health insurance, parental leave top‑up, pension, and wellness contributions.
• Modern tools to do your best work: Choose your preferred computer and phone within our budget, so you can work comfortably and efficiently.
• A people‑focused office culture: We value in‑person collaboration and follow an office‑first model, with some flexibility. Our offices offer a vibrant environment with opportunities to learn, connect, and recharge, from breakfast, lunch, and well‑stocked snack stations and quiet spaces to team activities such as movie nights, tech meetups, and cultural events. There's something for everyone.
• Truecaller's "Lab Days" offer a space for imagination: 5 times per year for 3 days, where everyone steps away from their normal tasks to explore new, bold ideas and build things they’ve always wanted to. It’s a space where curiosity leads the way, and prototypes take shape. Some concepts even make it into production, and a few have grown into real features used by millions today. Lab Days allow you to be creative, learn fast, and help shape Truecaller's future.
