  • Understand how customers buy, sell, browse, and engage with products
  • Partner with Product and Growth teams to answer complex business questions

The first few months will focus on:

  • Building relationships with stakeholders
  • Becoming familiar with the experimentation and measurement frameworks

As you become embedded, you’ll take ownership of larger analytical initiatives and drive product decisions through insight and evidence.
