Requirements

• 3–5+ years of experience in growth data science, commercial/revenue analytics, or product analytics within tech, B2B SaaS, or high-growth AI companies.
• Advanced SQL proficiency and deep experience with commercial analytics methods (funnel analysis, cohort analysis, lifetime value modeling, user segmentation).
• Strong hands-on experience building out modern BI reporting systems (e.g., Looker, Tableau, Metabase).
• High ownership mindset with a proven ability to turn complex, multi-touch datasets into clear, actionable business strategies. You take pride in moving projects independently from data pull to executive pitch.
• Strong commercial intuition. You understand sales funnels (e.g., renewal, expansion) and know how marketing channels interact with product conversion.
• Clear, compelling communication skills with the ability to bridge the gap between technical datasets and non-technical growth partners.

Nice To Haves

• Direct experience supporting B2B monetization, packaging changes, or hardware-plus-software pricing strategy.
• Comfort using AI-assisted analytics tools or automation workflows to maximize analytical efficiency.
• A background working in fast-paced tech environments or early-stage products with rapidly evolving data infrastructure.

Responsibilities

• Own the Growth & Commercial Architecture: Architect and define key commercial metrics, funnels, and leading indicators across user acquisition, activation, conversion, retention, and revenue performance.
• Drive Monetization & Pricing Strategy: Partner with leadership to support subscription monetization, packaging, and pricing decisions by building structured evaluation frameworks and clear, data-backed recommendations.
• Lead Growth & Marketing Experimentation: Design, execute, and validate marketing campaigns, growth initiatives, and product-led growth (PLG) experiments, ensuring strict statistical rigor (A/B testing, cohort modeling).
• Proactive Funnel Diagnostics: Act as the detective for our revenue engine. You will hunt down the root causes behind metric anomalies, conversion fluctuations, or performance dips, translating raw data into executive-ready narratives and decision memos.
• Scale Self-Serve Data Products: Build automated dashboards and robust business review materials that give Go-To-Market (GTM) teams and executives trusted, crystal-clear visibility into real-time performance.
• Align Global Analytics: Partner closely with cross-regional analytics stakeholders to lead methodology alignment, share localized context, and ensure global data consistency.
