• 3–5 years of experience in marketing analytics, FP&A, growth strategy, or a similar data-focused role

• Strong analytical skills and comfort working with large data sets; advanced Excel/Sheets required

• Advanced proficiency in SQL (Google BigQuery preferred); ability to write queries independently and validate data accuracy.

• Python experience (e.g., Pandas, NumPy) is a plus, particularly for forecasting, modeling, or automation.

• Experience partnering with engineering or data teams on pipeline and tooling improvements.

• A clear and persuasive communicator who can tell a story with numbers

• Familiarity with digital marketing metrics, funnels, and attribution models

• Proactive, detail-oriented, and highly organized
