• Work with the Pricing & Promotions team to quantify, understand, and prioritize improvements to our pricing system. 
• Drive data-informed decision making within the Pricing team by equipping PMs, Marketers and engineers with self-service analytics tools, and conducting ad hoc analyses and causal studies for the team. 
• Build metrics & dashboards for the Pricing team to understand marketplace behaviors, and help identify challenges and opportunities for the team based on patterns in user data. 
• Build metrics to measure price elasticities, average selling prices, and conversion rates in our marketplace, and use those metrics to help brainstorm potential price experiments to drive revenue gains.

What you’ll have

• Expert-level SQL ability and proficiency in Python data science libraries.
• Strong business intuition and judgment, and experience applying prioritization frameworks to your work (e.g., RICE, Eisenhower matrix).
• Exceptional data storytelling and data visualization ability. Experience with Mode and/or Tableau is a plus. 
• Broad knowledge of applied statistics, experimental design, and analysis of A/B tests.
• 1-3+ years of relevant hands-on experience in product or business analytics roles.
• Experience working with Github and CI/CD code review processes. 
• Nice to have: Experience building automated data pipelines using tools like Airflow and dbt.
• Ability and willingness to work autonomously, relentlessly prioritize, and collaborate with team members in U.S. time zones as well as globally in Turkey, Ireland, and India as needed.
