Job description

Position Overview

The Senior Product Analyst is a product-embedded analytical role that owns the metric lifecycle for its product area: defining what to measure, building the production data models that measure it, and framing the product decisions those measurements inform. The role pairs data engineering rigor with product partnership. Individuals in this role own production analytics models and metric definitions, partner directly with product and engineering teams, and translate analysis into clear recommendations for product decisions.

26WD102102

Responsibilities

• Embedded product partnership
• Serve as an embedded analytical partner to product and engineering teams. Define key results and performance indicators, run product review dashboards, and drive data-informed build/iterate/kill decisions
• Contribute to certification of production dashboards, including sourcing audits and consistency checks that ensure stakeholders receive reliable, governed analytical outputs
• Growth analytics and product workflow modeling
• Build growth analyses and product workflow models (for example, adoption, onboarding, and usage funnels) as reusable analytical assets, not one-time deliverables
• Run pre-launch and post-launch impact assessments that predict what will happen from a product change, not just what has happened, directly informing ship/kill/pivot decisions
• Data product ownership and semantic modeling
• Develop and maintain production analytics models (for example, dbt or equivalent) that serve as the source of truth for the business unit. Models are version-controlled, peer-reviewed, and subject to a formal certification framework
• Contribute to semantic layers and event definitions that standardize how data from multiple upstream sources is integrated, transformed, and governed
• Partner with engineering on instrumentation requirements and investigate and elevate data quality issues such as missing or inconsistent event
• Execute pre-development impact assessments that trace proposed changes through model lineage, quantifying downstream effects on dashboards, reports, and metric definitions Publish stakeholder communications per release cycle to document metric definition changes
• Decision support
• Prepare decision documents and analyses that give product leadership clear options, trade-offs, data gaps, and success criteria
• Deliver insights tied to specific product decisions, designed to close a decision rather than present findings in the abstract
• Define success metrics for features and launches so the team measures what matters rather than what is convenient

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in a quantitative field (Computer Science, Statistics, Mathematics, Economics, Engineering, or related)
• 4+ years of experience in product, business, or data analytics
• Advanced SQL, experience with a production analytics modeling framework (for example, dbt), and at least one BI/visualization platform (for example, Looker, Tableau, Power BI)
• Experience with a cloud data warehouse (for example, Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift)
• Demonstrated ability to define and own production‑grade metric definitions, not just ad hoc analyses
• Experience working as an embedded analytical partner to product or engineering teams, with a track record of influencing product decisions through data
• Strong written communication skills, including the ability to author structured decision documents for senior audiences

Preferred Qualifications

• Master’s degree in a quantitative field
• Familiarity with event‑based data architectures and instrumentation design
• Proficiency in Python or R for data analysis and visualization
• Familiarity with data governance practices (certification tiers, change management, lineage tracking)
• Familiarity with experimentation design and causal inference methods
• Experience in B2B SaaS, construction technology, or platform/marketplace analytics
