Responsibilities

• Deliver high-trust analysis on clear timelines: stakeholders trust both the answer and the ETA; assumptions and limits are explicit
• Translate business problems into analysis + system requirements: turn vague asks into crisp scopes, metrics definitions, and data contracts
• Build and maintain internal decision systems: ship lightweight tools/workflows so insights are reproducible and maintainable by others
• Partner with GTM teams: help Sales/GTM move from 'interesting analysis' to actions (e.g., prospecting lists, territory design, experimentation)
• Proactively surface issues: detect anomalies, broken assumptions, or misallocated spend without waiting for a ticket
• Support fundraising readiness: contribute to an evergreen, credible data pool and reporting that leadership can rely on

• Strong applied analytics / data science foundation (statistics, experimentation, causal thinking, forecasting, etc.)
• Demonstrated ability to scope ambiguous problems and drive to decisions with stakeholders
• Comfort writing production-quality code (especially Python) and building maintainable internal systems (not just notebooks)
• Excellent communication: can explain tradeoffs, assumptions, and recommendations to non-technical audiences
• High ownership and autonomy in a fast-paced environment; can operate without a lot of process
• Experience partnering closely with Sales/GTM teams (pipeline, conversion, pricing, prospecting, territories, etc.)
• Experience building internal analytics tooling on cloud infrastructure (basic best practices, reliability, maintainability)
• Experience operating in early-stage startups and/or building 'v1 systems' that later scale
• Strong 'structured systems thinking' and willingness to defend or revise an approach under scrutiny
