Role Overview

• Partner with Product and Business teams to define OKRs, identify analytical opportunities, and influence product and business decisions.
• Support A/B testing and experimentation, including metric design, experiment readouts, deep dives, and interpretation of business impact.
• Identify gaps in existing metrics and data, and design reusable datasets, analytical frameworks, and self-service solutions.
• Communicate complex analytical findings clearly to business, product, and leadership stakeholders and drive alignment on recommended actions.
• Explore new analytics technologies, including LLM/Generative AI, to improve analytical depth, productivity, and decision-making.

Basic Qualifications  

• 4+ years of experience in data analytics, product analytics, business analytics, or a related quantitative role.
• Advanced SQL skills and experience working with large-scale datasets and building data marts.
• Strong experience with Tableau or similar BI/visualization tools.
• Demonstrated ability to independently structure ambiguous business problems and conduct rigorous, in-depth analysis.
• Strong business judgment with a track record of translating data into insights, recommendations, and measurable actions.
• Experience defining business/product metrics and supporting experimentation or A/B testing.
• Strong communication and cross-functional collaboration skills, with professional proficiency in English and/or Chinese (both written and verbal).

Preferred Qualifications  

• Experience in payments, fintech, e-commerce, or other high-volume transaction businesses.
• Experience with Python, Spark/Hive, Redshift, Airflow, or similar data technologies.
• Strong knowledge of statistical analysis, experimental design, and causal inference.
