The ideal candidate is a proactive problem-solver with a strong analytical background and excellent attention to detail. A passion for making the world a better place helps, too.

What You’ll Do:

Data Analysis & Insights

Reporting Optimization & Automation

  • Design, build, and maintain scalable reporting dashboards to streamline decision-making and ensure timely, relevant insights are readily available across our teams;
  • Automate recurring reports to improve efficiency and accuracy;
  • Identify inefficiencies in existing reporting frameworks and propose solutions for improvement; add new frameworks and/or dashboards to the mix as our learning questions expand.

Data Management & Governance

  • Ensure data integrity and consistency across different reporting platforms;
  • Document best practices for data collection, storage, and reporting; train internal team members as needed.

Required Skills/Competencies:

  • Strong data-wrangling and analytical skills; seamless ability to clean, structure, and interpret complex data sets;
  • Excellent data manipulation skills using Google Sheets/ Excel; knowledge of advanced formulas, pivot tables, and data visualization;
  • Experience and comfort working with a variety of analytics tools, databases, and programming languages, specifically GA4, SQL, and Python/R;
  • Experience evaluating key product and marketing metrics, including user acquisition, engagement, conversion, and retention, and familiarity with hypothesis testing, regression, clustering, and predictive modeling;
  • Ability to communicate findings effectively to stakeholders, translating complex data into clear insights and recommendations.

Preferred Skills / Competencies:

  • Experience or familiarity with tools like Heap, Amplitude, or Mixpanel; knowledge of digital marketing metrics and trends;
  • Knowledge of statistical methods for running and analyzing controlled experiments (e.g., A/B testing).

Education / Experience:

  • A bachelor’s degree in statistics, data science, mathematics, economics, computer science, or business analytics is preferred;
  • At least 2-3 years of experience as a data analyst or in a similar role is required; current master's or PhD students are encouraged to apply.
