- Investigate tracking and data-quality issues across product events and downstream reporting tables.
- Help teams distinguish genuine changes in user behavior from instrumentation or pipeline problems.
- Conduct post-launch analyses for major product features and workflows.
- Analyze adoption, activation, funnels, retention, segmentation, and user behavior.
- Translate ambiguous business questions into structured analytical plans.
- Turn findings into actionable recommendations for product and business stakeholders.
- Support our data analyst with complex or high-priority analytical requests.
- Analyze subscriber retention, monetization, and customer lifetime value.
- Compare user and revenue behavior across plans, segments, and payment platforms.
- Partner with Finance to validate reporting logic and investigate discrepancies.
- Communicate assumptions and data limitations clearly when working with financial and payment-related data.

- Partner on experimentation, segmentation, and ongoing performance monitoring.
Qualifications
- Typically 3+ years of experience in data science, product analytics, decision science, or a closely related field—or equivalent experience owning work at this level.
- Advanced SQL skills, including complex joins, window functions, event-level analysis, cohort analysis, and query debugging.
- Strong Python skills for analysis, automation, validation, and statistical work.
- Experience analyzing product usage, feature adoption, funnels, retention, segmentation, or monetization.
- Experience defining and governing metrics, rather than only using existing definitions.
- Strong data-validation instincts, including checking joins, duplication, nulls, freshness, source consistency, and tracking changes.
- Experience working with event data from Mixpanel, or a similar product analytics platform.
- Experience building or maintaining dashboards using tools such as Superset, Looker, Tableau, or Power BI.
- Working knowledge of experimentation, statistical inference, and the limits of causal conclusions.
- Strong ownership and the ability to make progress when requirements are ambiguous.
- Clear communication skills and experience partnering with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
