Responsibilities

Build and maintain dashboards, reports, and self-serve analytics that give eCommerce, web, and marketing partners timely, accurate visibility into commerce performance across Microsoft's owned digital storefronts.
Analyze the web and eCommerce journey — from acquisition and on-site engagement through sign-up, checkout, conversion, and revenue — connecting customer behavior to the durable business outcomes our partners own, such as gross adds, conversion, and revenue.
Investigate revenue, product and offer performance, customer behavior, and operational efficiency to surface actionable insights for partners, proactively bringing trends, anomalies, and opportunities forward without waiting to be asked.
Integrate data from multiple sources and partner closely with Data Engineering, Finance, Web data teams, and other partners to define metrics, validate data quality, and ensure analytical outputs are built on a reliable, well-modeled, analytics-ready single source of truth.
Help establish consistent Key Performance Indicator (KPI) and metric definitions, reporting standards, and documentation practices that scale as the analytics function and its self-serve tools grow.
Identify and quantify drivers of performance change — including product and offer launches, merchandising and promotional changes, technical factors, seasonal patterns, and external events.
Support experimentation — such as A/B tests and web experience changes — to evaluate the impact of eCommerce improvements and give partners confidence in what to scale.
Leverage AI-assisted and agentic tools such as Microsoft Copilot to accelerate analysis, automate recurring reporting workflows, and move from manual, reactive reporting toward proactive, scalable insight that reaches partners faster.
Turn ambiguous business questions into structured analytical frameworks, deliver clear findings to both technical and non-technical audiences through recurring readouts and deep-dive investigations, and collaborate cross-functionally with eCommerce, web experience, engineering, and marketing partners to prioritize improvements grounded in data.
