You'll combine business acumen with statistics and AI fluency to automate repetitive analyses, generate narratives, and drive actions across multiple global teams.

Qualifications

• 4+ years of relevant experience analyzing large multi-dimensional data sets.
• Degree in a quantitative field (CS, Statistics, Engineering, or Mathematics).
• Fluent in SQL and Excel; Power BI experience.
• Hands-on experience using AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot) for analysis.

• Design and execute testing strategies for improving individual performance across channels.
• Integrate data from all 3rd party sources and develop machine learning algorithms to build propensity and value models for different products and geographies.
• Go beyond descriptive reporting — synthesize disparate data points into a clear narrative and point of view that drives action, not just a dashboard that describes what happened.
• Leverage AI tools to accelerate exploratory analysis, summarize findings, and draft first-pass narratives and recommendations for stakeholder review.
• Identify repetitive, manual reporting and data-prep workflows and automate them using AI-powered tools, scripts, or agentic workflows.
• Build and maintain lightweight AI-assisted workflows that scale insight delivery across the business.
