• Lead exploratory and ad‑hoc analyses for product and leadership partners, synthesizing complex data into clear, decision‑ready recommendations
• Build and maintain BI infrastructure in Looker and Amplitude, including dashboards, explores, and self‑service reporting layers
• Act as a data thought partner to product teams, proactively surfacing insights, flagging risks, and shaping strategy through a data lens

Minimum Qualifications

• 3–5 years in product analytics, including direct experience defining and owning core product metrics end to end
• Strong proficiency in SQL
• Experience with at least one BI tool (Looker, Tableau, Power BI, Sigma, etc.)
• Experiences working with Python and/or R for analysis and automation in a production environment
• Familiarity with AI workflows, LLM tooling, or agentic data products
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate complex analysis into clear recommendations for non‑technical stakeholders
