We could be a match if: • 7+ years of experience using quantitative analysis to drive product and business decisions in digital product environments. • 4+ years of experience directly supporting Product Managers or embedded within a product organization. • Experience owning product metrics and evaluating feature performance through experimentation, funnel analysis, retention analysis, and segmentation. • Strong technical analytics skills across large datasets, from event-level data to executive reporting. • Strong understanding of product analytics in multi-sided or B2B2C ecosystems. • Experience improving instrumentation, event schemas, and data models to increase data quality and speed to insight. • Strong grounding in statistics and experimentation methods. • Advanced SQL skills and proficiency in Python or R. • Experience with BI and visualization tools such as Databricks, Looker, or similar. • Strong communication skills and the ability to influence both technical and non-technical stakeholders. • Experience mentoring others and raising the analytical quality bar across a team. • Familiarity with user growth, trust and safety, and operational tooling analytics preferred. #LI-CENTRAL   #LI-TM2 Why Match Group?
