Jobbeschreibung

• Own the analytical understanding of Netlify’s PLG performance across activation, engagement, conversion, monetization, and retention, identifying opportunities before they become requests
• Partner with Product and Engineering leadership to turn behavioral insights into product bets, defining what to test, how to measure it, and what the results mean
• Lead experimentation from hypothesis through decision, including study design, methodology, success metrics, guardrails, analysis, and recommendations
• Apply statistical rigor where it matters while recognizing when there is enough signal to make a decision and move forward, and help teams develop that same judgment
• Build scalable analytical systems like semantic models, trusted metrics, proactive monitoring, and AI-powered agents that surface opportunities without waiting to be asked
• Use AI to investigate faster, automate recurring analytical work, and test more hypotheses without sacrificing the judgment that makes the output useful
• Identify gaps in measurement, event instrumentation, and metric definitions, and partner with Data and Product Engineering to close them
• Serve as a trusted analytical partner to PLG leadership, using evidence and product judgment to influence investment decisions and roadmap priorities
• Influence product strategy through evidence, product instincts, and a clear point of view, without relying on formal authority to do it

This Role is a Great Fit If:

• You’re energized by finding the opportunity before anyone thought to ask – proactive discovery is how you naturally work, not a mode you shift into
• You think like a product person who happens to be exceptionally rigorous with data, not a data person who occasionally weighs in on product
• You thrive when the problem isn’t handed to you – you’d rather define the question worth asking than answer the one that landed in your queue
• You get excited about building systems that keep working after you’ve moved on to the next problem
• You’re comfortable making a call with imperfect information and can articulate clearly why you made it
• You enjoy being a thought partner to senior leaders – shaping how they think about investment and opportunity, not just supporting decisions already made
• You work well in a remote‑first, async environment where written clarity and self‑direction matter more than proximity
• You’re drawn to roles where the measure of success is outcomes, decisions made, bets tested, metrics moved, not volume of output produced
