  • Hypothesis-driven testing, including defining, facilitating, and analyzing A/B testing
  • Define strategy and execution for business intelligence and live operations reporting, including dashboards and alerts.  
  • Recommend analytical tools to implement in partnership with developers and the Head of Growth
  • Lifetime value and cohort tracking

Qualifications

  • Deep expertise in SQL. Experience in Python and R a plus
  • Bachelor’s degree in mathematics, statistics, computer science, or related quantitative field. Master’s degree a plus
  • Must be an effective communicator to peers and upper management
