About the role
Bolt Ads operates across two verticals, Merchant Ads and Brand Ads, and every strategic decision, from country prioritisation to pricing models, depends on rigorous analysis that turns commercial ambiguity into clear action.

- Structure and solve ambiguous commercial problems: decompose questions like "why is advertising adoption plateauing in this market?" into hypotheses, run the analysis, and deliver recommendations with a clear "so what"
- Proactively surface revenue opportunities, underperforming segments, untapped markets, pricing inefficiencies, adoption gaps, and work with commercial teams to capture them
- Build scalable, self-serve reporting and partner with data engineering to automate manual workflows, freeing capacity for higher-impact analytical work
