Job Description
What You’ll Be Responsible For
- Partnering with Data Science and Engineering to build and refine models that measure the impact of Growth and Marketing initiatives
- Leading analysis on promotional campaigns, including A/B testing, incrementality studies, and projections to uncover opportunities
- Acting as the Growth team’s data voice in cross-functional meetings, ensuring marketing metrics and campaign performance are well understood
- Delivering clear, actionable recommendations based on data to inform business decisions and optimize future campaigns
- Improving team processes, documentation, and internal tooling to ensure long-term scalability and ease of use
What You Bring
- Data-Driven Mindset: You love getting into the data, making sense of it, and turning it into decisions that move the needle
- Problem-Solving Strength: You approach ambiguity with curiosity and confidence — and can invent new ways to measure success when the roadmap doesn’t yet exist
- Collaborative Communication: You know how to translate technical insights into stories that marketing, product, and client experience teams can act on
- End-to-End Ownership: You’ve led reporting or analysis projects from start to finish and know how to balance detail with execution
You’ll Succeed in This Role If You:
- Have independently run in-depth business reviews with teams like growth, product, design, or client experience
- Enjoy tackling ambiguous challenges with a big-picture lens and practical execution
- Ask smart questions and aren’t afraid to challenge assumptions with data
- Thrive in a collaborative, fast-moving environment where priorities can shift
Required Experience
- 1–3 years of experience in growth/performance marketing analytics or a closely related role
- Proficient in SQL (intermediate to advanced level), with experience using tools like Preset (Apache Superset), DataGrip, or similar BI platforms
- Comfortable working with large datasets and deriving insights (not structuring data pipelines)
- Hands-on experience with A/B testing, campaign analysis, and performance reporting
- Strong business storytelling and communication skills — able to present insights to non-technical audiences
- Ability to work independently on ambiguous problems and represent data insights across cross-functional teams
💡 Bonus Points If You Have:
- Hands-on experience with digital marketing tools or paid media platforms
- Exposure to Snowflake or similar cloud data platforms
- Experience analyzing promotions, incentives, or performance-based offers
- Familiarity with incrementality testing or experimental design
- Experience in fintech, e-commerce, or other high-growth environments
