- Lead the development, deployment, and adoption of causal inference models to measure marketing campaigns, optimizing investments across short and long-term business objectives.
- Take ownership of end-to-end projects, operating where there's a high degree of ambiguity, and delivering results within ambitious timelines.
- Translate insights into relevant business recommendations, anticipating the needs of business stakeholders.

- Solid grasp of advanced statistical concepts (e.g., Bayesian statistics; sequential testing; multilevel and generalized linear models, double ML; timeseries; bootstrapping)
- Practical experience with causal inference and experimentation, including experiment design and platform setup.
- Expertise in Python and SQL, with direct experience working with very large datasets. Production-level modeling experience is preferred.
- Proven experience leading data-driven projects from definition to execution, influencing business decisions and outcomes.
- Practical experience in time series analyses, forecasting techniques, cohort and survival analyses.
- Strong organizational skills, a sense of ownership and accountability, and the ability to lead projects independently.
