Responsibilities
Own end-to-end analyses: scope the question, define success metrics, pull data, analyze, synthesize, and deliver data-driven narratives
Drive stakeholder alignment: clarify objectives, assumptions, tradeoffs, and decision points; ensure outputs are usable
Build crisp storytelling & presentations: create executive-ready readouts (slides, memos) with clear “so what / now what.”
Develop SQL and Python-based workflows: write and review SQL/Python code to create datasets, compute KPIs, and validate results; use Airflow to maintain and build new pipelines when needed
Create reporting in Tableau/Looker: develop dashboards or recurring scorecards that make performance tracking easier and reduce ad-hoc churn
Measurement & causal thinking: apply or partner on quasi-experimental approaches (e.g., diff-in-diff, propensity matching, synthetic controls) with appropriate caveats to address incrementality questions
Raise analytical quality: ensure statistical rigor, bias awareness, and clear limitations
Qualification
Required

Strong SQL (joins, window functions, building analysis-ready tables, QA/validation)
Proficiency in Excel to work with data, tables and visualization
Strong ability to communicate insights: structured thinking, clear writing, confident presenting to non-technical and executive audiences
Solid foundation in statistics (hypothesis testing, confidence intervals, regression basics)
Experienced with Python for analysis and data pipeline production (via Airflow)
Hands-on experience with visualization tools like Tableau or Looker
Preferred
