About the role

Responsibilities

Ensure partners are making data-informed decisions, and that they have the tooling, insights, and partnership they need to do so.
  • Shape product and business strategy. Directly inform what we prioritize using data; opportunity size new potential areas for investment and proactively identify potential new directions through analysis and insights. Set the narrative internally using numbers.
  • Define our key measurement frameworks. Partner with stakeholders to define our business and product goals. Lead the development and championing of key metrics; ensure our most important metrics are properly instrumented and monitored. Create a data-obsessed organization.
