Self-Serve Ecosystem: Build and maintain scalable data models in Snowflake and intuitive dashboards in Looker that empower non-technical teams to find their own answers.
Strategic Storytelling: Synthesize raw data into clear narratives for leadership, providing actionable recommendations that go beyond "what happened" to "what we should do next."
What You Will Have:
Experience: 4–7+ years in Data Science, Product Analytics, or Growth Analytics.
Technical Stack: Expert SQL (Window functions, CTEs) and proficiency in Python or R for statistical modeling.
Statistical Rigor: Strong grasp of A/B testing, hypothesis testing, and causal inference.
Tooling: Experience with modern BI (Looker, Tableau) and Event Analytics (Amplitude, Mixpanel).
Communication: Proven ability to influence stakeholders (like Marketing or Success Leads) through data.

Background in SaaS or Subscription business models.
