• Solid foundation in statistics, experimentation, modeling and causal inference

• Strong analytical thinking, problem-solving, and structured reasoning skills

• Experience partnering cross-functionally with Product and Engineering teams

• Ability to independently own analyses and translate data into actionable product insights

• Strong communication skills with the ability to influence both technical and non-technical partners

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience working on marketplace, e-commerce platforms or large-scale technology products
