About You
You love data… because of how it impacts decisions, makes for better products, and ultimately changes lives. You enjoy leading data teams and enabling other teams to leverage data intelligently. You are proactive, collaborative, and communicative. You bring experience and insights relevant to a freemium subscription business (user acquisition, retention, monetization) and the foundational work around experimentation, reporting, and forecasting.

- Partner closely with our Head of Data Engineering to ensure data validity and consistency
Preferred Skills
- 8+ years in data analytics / data science
- 5+ years in data leadership and people management
- Experience in consumer at scale with at least 10M Monthly Active Users (we’re around 50M and will grow a lot).
- Hands-on experience with modern dashboard and experimentation tools, even better if you helped with in-house development
