What it asks for · 9
- 12+ years of experience in product/data analytics within product organizations or strategic business performance teams at high-growth tech companies
- Experience in Product Strategy, Product Management, or GM-style roles where you owned a P&L or a specific business outcome
- Deeply curious about business models and data, probing into signals, understanding trends and customer usage patterns to uncover novel insights
- A proven track record of directly driving business growth through analytical insights and execution
- Apply AI to enhance decision-making and operational efficiency, know when and how to use the right AI tools to move faster without sacrificing rigor or quality
- Strong product sense and the ability to understand the technical mechanics of how software products are built and scaled
- Experience navigating ambiguous, cross-functional problems and leading high-stakes interventions with senior stakeholders

- Technical proficiency in SQL / Python / R and data analysis; ability to self-serve and perform independent deep-dives into complex datasets

What the job covers
- Own the "Signal" : You will define and maintain the metrics that actually matter for in-year performance. You’ll develop a "morning read" discipline—a curated, high-signal view of the business that drives immediate action, moving far beyond standard dashboarding.
- Deep-Dive Interventions : You will lead "surge" projects to diagnose and unblock critical goals at risk. You aren't just identifying problems; you are staying in the arena until the trajectory has measurably changed.
- Bridge Product & Strategy : You will translate long-horizon corporate theses into in-year operational reality. You’ll take ambiguous opportunities that cut across product, risk, and marketing and decompose them into structured workstreams.
- Synthesize for Leadership : You’ll think ahead of our executive team, preparing CEO/COO-level materials that translate unstructured signals into structured diagnoses they can act on.
- Pressure-test our Assumptions : You’ll work closely with Corporate Strategy and Product teams to identify gaps between our external market forces and our internal execution.
