Your key areas of focus

As Senior Business Analyst of this product domain, you will enable the critical analytics capabilities of the team, including defining key metrics of product performance, taking a hands-on quantitative approach to bringing unparalleled insights on user behaviour, and provide data-driven recommendations that ultimately influence how the team executes every day and invests in growth.
We are growing fast (yes, even now) and at a stage where we want to move fast with high stability, so you’ll have to be comfortable with making progress with incomplete or imperfect information.

- Partner with Product, Engineering, Design, and other teams to ideate, test, and launch new initiatives that are part of the identified roadmaps; lead experimentation from design to analyzing results that inform go/no-go launch decisions
- Apply your business acumen and analytics techniques on ambiguous business problems to unearth areas of opportunity and size potential impact
- Provide technical advice to the team on data availability, gathering methods and timeline for different projects
