- Advanced understanding of descriptive statistics and experimentation, and confidence in implementation of those methods at scale.
- Expertise with SQL and data visualization tools (e.g. Tableau or Mode) and proficiency in a programming language such as Python or R for data analysis and modeling.
- Resilience and agility to react and communicate fast, prioritizing time on the most impactful projects.
- Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to present complex ideas and results to non-technical stakeholders.
