• Comfort working with marketing/UA metrics and funnels (e.g., CPI/CAC, conversion rate, payback, retention) or strong interest in learning quickly.
• Experience with data visualisation/storytelling (e.g., Looker, Tableau) and presenting insights to non-technical audiences.
• Collaborative mindset, curiosity, and a practical approach to solving ambiguous business problems.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with causal/incrementality thinking.
• Experience working with product funnels or lifecycle metrics in a consumer app environment.
• Experience in a multi-sided marketplace and understanding it’s nuance & trade-offs

Responsibilities

• Partner with Marketing/UA, Product, and Finance teams to define and investigate key questions related to acquisition performance and growth.
• Support measurement of campaign performance (e.g., efficiency, quality, retention, LTV/ROI), and help improve how results are tracked and reported.
• Build and maintain dashboards, datasets, and analysis pipelines that make performance data accessible and trusted.
• Conduct deep-dive analyses to identify patterns, drivers, and opportunities across channels, geos, and audience cohorts.
• Help develop and operationalise experimentation and incrementality approaches (e.g., A/B tests, geo tests) to evaluate marketing impact.
• Communicate insights clearly, turning analysis into practical recommendations for stakeholders.
• Collaborate with Analytics and Data Engineering to improve data quality, definitions, and instrumentation relevant to acquisition and attribution.
