• Build measurement frameworks to assess the success (or shortcomings) of the product portfolio and inform decision making.
• Create data visualizations to translate analytic and data science results for broad understanding across the business.
• Build scalable automation solutions using SQL, dashboards, and other tools to create leverage for yourself and the digital assets team.
• Occasionally share your results with larger audiences to educate them on the digital assets product and ecosystem.

Requirements

• Strong understanding of statistics and experience applying statistical methods to understand business outcomes and customer behavior.
• Proven experience in planning and driving analytical and data science projects.
