Responsibilities
Maintain and evolve the Executive Leadership Team (ELT) performance dashboard (Tableau), ensuring it remains the 'Single Source of Truth' for the company
Develop the analytical commentary for MBRs, QBRs, and weekly ELT read-outs. You won’t just report the 'what'—you will explain the 'why' and the 'so what.'
Lead the ongoing reconciliation of core strategic metrics (e.g., unit economics, merchant yield, customer LTV) across Finance, Product, and Marketing to ensure the ELT is aligned on data definitions
Support the rigorous analytical requirements for IPO readiness, ensuring our business narratives are backed by deep, defensible data
Identify performance drivers and growth opportunities by diving deep into our marketplace dynamics. You will diagnose 'leaks' in the business and help structure cross-functional solutions
Act as a 'fast-lane' resource for the CEO and Head of Strategy, executing rapid-response analyses for urgent executive requests or high-level strategic explorations
Provide the analytical backbone for business-critical projects
Create sophisticated financial and operational models to size opportunities and inform resource allocation decisions
Design and produce high-quality communication materials (decks, data visualizations) for strategic meetings and Board updates
Act as the bridge between the Strategy and Operations teams and functional analytics teams (Growth, Product, Logistics). You will champion best practices and ensure strategic priorities are reflected in functional roadmaps
Leverage emerging AI tools (LLMs, MCPs) to automate workflows, accelerate insight generation, and elevate the team’s analytical capabilities
Qualification
Required
Expert SQL: You are comfortable writing complex queries to extract data from large, multi-sided marketplace datasets

4-6+ years of experience in a high-impact analytics role, management consulting, or strategic business operations
