  • Establish and evolve measurement for the PLG funnel, including acquisition, trial engagement, activation, conversion, retention, expansion, and customer value.
  • Analyze customer behavior using segmentation, cohort, funnel, retention, and experimentation methods to identify opportunities and barriers to growth.
  • Design measurement plans for product initiatives and experiments, including success metrics, guardrails, instrumentation requirements, and interpretation of results.
  • Improve the quality and consistency of product analytics through trusted metric definitions, event tracking, reusable datasets, dashboards, and self-service reporting.
  • Use AI-assisted tools to accelerate analysis, reporting, SQL and Python development, data modeling, and documentation while applying sound judgment to validate and improve the results.

What you bring to the role
  • Significant experience in product analytics, growth analytics, business intelligence, data science, product operations, or a related field, ideally in a software or SaaS environment with a product-led or self-service motion.
  • Experience designing, measuring, or interpreting product experiments and A/B tests, with an understanding of statistical concepts and causal reasoning.
  • Strong SQL skills and experience working with complex data across multiple sources.
  • Experience using Python, R, or another language for statistical analysis or data preparation.
  • Experience with Snowflake, dbt, or comparable modern data platforms is helpful.
  • Ability to define meaningful metrics and measurement plans in partnership with Product and Engineering, including familiarity with product instrumentation and event data.
  • Experience building or guiding dashboards, self-service reporting, semantic or metric layers, and other reusable analytics assets. Familiarity with tools such as Looker, Tableau, Amplitude, Pendo, Segment or similar platforms is useful.
  • Strong written, verbal, and visual communication skills, including the ability to explain complex findings, make recommendations, and tailor a message for technical and non-technical audiences.
