Role:
Lead the process of gathering requirements and translating complex business problems into structured, scalable quantitative analyses.
Partner with functional departments to extract strategic insights from analytical outputs, shape high-impact business recommendations, and deliver them through compelling narratives and comprehensive visualizations.
Guide collaboration with stakeholders and team members to design accurate, scalable, and business-relevant datasets, reports, dashboards, and analyses for both operational and strategic initiatives.
Design robust data models using techniques such as Kimball/dimensional data modelling.

Champion data governance by embedding best practices into workflows and mentoring stakeholders on discovering, accessing, and effectively leveraging data assets.
Play a key role in advancing internal event tracking and A/B testing systems through continuous improvement and innovation.
Develop predictive and classification models to support strategic initiatives across Product, Customer Success, and Marketing domains.
Mentor junior colleagues on best practices in analytical research, dashboard development, and data storytelling to ensure high-quality, impactful outputs.
