Responsibilities

Be the analytical DRI for fulfillment, owning north-star metrics across brand supply, retailer demand, unit economics, and quality, and developing deep intuition on how they're trending.
Ensure the team is coordinated, aligned, and working on the highest-impact questions, and surface the most salient insights to drive the business forward.
Own experimentation strategy, setting the roadmap and owning analysis of results, from short product-improvement tests to long-running holdouts that measure incremental GMV.
Bring the right causal-inference approach to problems where a clean A/B isn't possible, including synthetic matched-cohort designs and other quasi-experimental methods.
Own product analytics, ensuring the right things are measured across the fulfillment product, from discovery and conversion to cart and reorder behavior, and that event logging and instrumentation are accurate and trustworthy.
Turn measurement into insight on where and how to improve the product.
Drive brand-growth analytics, ensuring the right things are measured to understand whether participating brands are growing, decomposing what's driving (or holding back) that growth, and surfacing levers that accelerate it.
Lead cross-functional strategic initiatives, partnering with Product, Operations, Finance, and GTM to tackle the hardest strategic questions in fulfillment, developing hypotheses, executing in-depth analyses, and making recommendations to leadership.
Uplevel the team by building scalable analytical processes and tools that make the entire fulfillment team smarter and faster, with a particular emphasis on leveraging AI to automate analysis, encode reusable workflows, and raise the leverage of every analyst on the team.
