- Strong analytical skills with a track record of designing and interpreting A/B tests and turning insights into actionable strategies.
- Demonstrated ability to lead projects and influence cross-functional teams, including Product, Engineering, and Analytics.
- Entrepreneurial mindset with a proactive approach to growth marketing, testing, and continuous optimization.
- Exceptional communication skills and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
