• Communicate findings to Product, Engineering, Design, Marketing, and Community to help them tell a data-driven story to a public audience, but also influence internal roadmaps and enable data-driven strategic decisions
• Actively contribute to our company-wide community of Data Analysts: fostering collaboration and sharing best practices, to push data-driven decision-making to the next level!
