Responsibilities

Partner with Local, Regional, and Central Teams Act as the bridge between our LATAM teams (marketing, country managers, community), and global product and data functions. Ensure local insights are reflected in global priorities, and ensure a two-way flow of local and global insights
Tell the Story Behind the Numbers Craft clear, actionable narratives using data. Turn complex insights into simple stories that inspire action—whether with product teams, regional leadership, or the whole company
Identify Problems Before They’re Obvious Proactively surface growth bottlenecks, user behavior shifts, or product mismatches in the region—so we’re always one step ahead
