You'll report to the Senior Manager, Analytics & Insights and work as part of a small, focused team. Together with stakeholders in Finance, Sales, Marketing, and Product, you'll answer data-centric business questions, support key initiatives, and enable more data-driven planning and reporting across the company.

- Effective communication and stakeholder management skills, including presenting findings to non-technical audiences and collaborating with partners in Finance, Sales, Marketing, and Product.
- Comfort working in a fast-paced, collaborative, and asynchronous environment, managing multiple priorities and driving work independently.
- Openness to candidates with diverse backgrounds and transferable skills who can demonstrate strong analytical thinking, business acumen, and a data-informed approach to decision-making.
