WHAT YOU'LL NEED - 12+ years of experience in product analytics, strategy, or business performance at high‑growth tech companies. - Proven track record of owning P&L or a specific business outcome and driving growth through analytical insight and execution. - Deep curiosity about business models, customer behavior, and data signals, with the ability to uncover novel insights. - Expertise in applying AI tools to enhance decision‑making and operational efficiency without compromising rigor. - Strong product sense and understanding of how software products are built and scaled. - Experience navigating ambiguous, cross‑functional problems and leading high‑stakes interventions with senior stakeholders. - Ability to build trust and partner with senior leaders and CXOs, facilitating impactful conversations. - Technical proficiency in SQL, Python, or R, enabling independent deep dives into complex datasets. - Prior experience with fintech products or complex financial systems is a plus.
