The position serves as a senior analytics partner on Owners and Sellers, driving data-informed decision-making to optimize product development and enhance the consumer experience. This role owns experimentation, business analytics, and reporting, delivering actionable insights that directly influence the product roadmap and broader business strategy.

You will actively champion AI-enabled reporting and work with a cutting-edge stack that includes Python, SQL, Tableau, Amplitude, dbt, Airflow, and advanced tools like Streamlit, MCP, and Windsurf.
  • High-Maturity Data Culture: If you care about data quality and maturity, this team champions it at scale. You will have the resources and organizational buy-in to improve tracking, build scalable ETL pipelines, and establish data integrity across the entire company.
What You’ll Do:
  • Facilitate both short- and long-term strategic goals across core product initiatives.
  • Lead exploratory analyses to identify and size product development opportunities, balancing trade-offs between feature growth and optimization.
  • Drives the creation of learning agendas, design multivariate tests, and translate complex analytical findings into actionable recommendations that shape critical business decisions and influence the product roadmap.
  • Define success metrics for strategic initiatives, while delivering high-quality, data-driven analyses that surface impactful insights—particularly around consumer behavior, segmentation, and quality acquisition.
  • Champion the development of self-service AI-enabled reporting tools, empowering cross-functional teams to independently explore, measure, and monitor performance.
  • Drive continuous improvements in tracking and data quality, lead deep-dive analyses to understand product performance, and address key strategic questions.
  • Provide a unique opportunity to influence product direction by uncovering foundational insights into consumer preferences, behaviors, and intent through descriptive, statistical, and predictive analytics.
What You’ll Bring:
  • Expertise in Data Science & Search –MS/BS in computer science, statistics, mathematics, operations research or related fields, and 5 years of relevant experience in data science, machine learning or applied statistics, with a strong background in product analytics or experimentation.
  • Extensive Technical Skills – Proficiency in SQL, Python, Tableau, and Amplitude (or similar analytics tools).
  • Experience with AI enabled tools (streamlit, Claude/MCP, n8n, windsurf) is a must.
  • Ability to create ETL pipelines using dbt + Airflow.
  • Strong Creative Thinking & Problem-Solving Skills – Passion for tackling complex analytical problems, improving user experience, experimentation, and driving measurable impact.
