Who you are

• Experienced Analytics Leader: You’ve spent 10+ years in product analytics and have managed a small but mighty team. You’ve built roadmaps, championed your team, and made product orgs smarter through data
• Product-First Thinker: You see analytics as a way to build better user experiences. You’re curious about customer behavior and prioritize business outcomes over analytical perfection. Motivation around having impact on product and driving positive business outcomes

• Cross-Functional Operator: You’re comfortable navigating the competing priorities of Finance, Tech, and Product. You bring people together and communicate clearly, even when metrics don’t align
• Strategic and Hands-On: You know how to zoom out and drive the big picture, but also when to jump into SQL or a dashboard to guide your team or unlock a blocker

• People-Centered Leadership: You lead with empathy and transparency. You know how to challenge and inspire your team, build trust across functions, and celebrate visible impact
