This role sits at the intersection of marketing analytics, data science, product, and commercial strategy. The ideal candidate is comfortable working in a fast-paced environment, moving quickly from questions to analysis to action. At the core of the role: translating business questions into testable hypotheses, designing sound experiments, monitoring live tests, and delivering clear, data-driven readouts that inform optimization decisions — supported by day-to-day management of the test agenda. **Key Responsibilities** **Marketplace and Marketing Analytics** - Conduct exploratory analysis to understand changes in customer behavior, traffic quality, offer engagement, and downstream outcomes. - Monitor marketplace and funnel performance to identify optimization opportunities across customer experience, offer display, partner performance, and monetization. - Support opportunity sizing and business-case development for proposed optimization initiatives. - Partner with analytics and data science teams to improve measurement quality, data reliability, and experimentation velocity. - Help develop repeatable processes for rapid testing, post-test analysis, and continuous optimization. **Test Design and Execution** - Support the development and maintenance of a prioritized test-and-learn agenda across network optimization, offer display, ranking, curation, pricing, eligibility, and related marketplace levers. - Translate business opportunities and performance signals into clear hypotheses, test objectives, target populations, success metrics, and guardrail metrics. - Help design A/B, holdout, multivariate, and other controlled experiments in partnership with Product, Engineering, Data Science, and business stakeholders. - Coordinate test setup, launch readiness, audience splits, documentation, timelines, and stakeholder communication. - Track execution from initial idea through implementation, launch, monitoring, analysis, and final recommendation. - Work quickly and pragmatically while maintaining analytical rigor and attention to detail. **Test Readouts and Reporting** - Monitor live experiments and summarize performance across key funnel and marketplace metrics. - Produce concise, decision-oriented test readouts covering methodology, results, limitations, learnings, and recommended next steps. - Analyze metrics such as impressions, click-through rate, conversion, click-to-funded rate, revenue, revenue per lead, revenue per click, and partner or network efficiency. - Identify meaningful changes, anomalies, and emerging opportunities that require investigation or follow-up testing. - Build and maintain recurring reports, dashboards, and scorecards for the test pipeline, experiment status, and business impact. - Communicate findings clearly to technical and non-technical audiences, including marketing, product, finance, operations, and leadership. **Test Agenda and Stakeholder Management** - Maintain a current view of the test pipeline, including proposed, approved, in-flight, completed, and follow-up experiments. - Manage meeting materials, action items, owners, dependencies, decisions, and timelines for the test agenda. - Help prioritize experiments based on expected impact, confidence, reach, effort, strategic importance, and learning value. - Coordinate with partner teams to resolve blockers and keep experiments moving toward launch and readout. - Maintain consistent standards for experiment documentation, naming, tracking, and knowledge sharing. - Capture and distribute learnings so that successful approaches can be scaled and unsuccessful approaches can inform future tests. **Required Qualifications** - Bachelor’s degree in marketing analytics, statistics, economics, business, mathematics, computer science, or a related quantitative field. - 1–3 years of experience in marketing analytics, product analytics, growth analytics, experimentation, revenue analytics, or a related discipline. - Experience working with A/B tests, holdout tests, campaign measurement, or other forms of controlled experimentation. - Working knowledge of experimental design, including hypotheses, control and treatment groups, success metrics, guardrails, and basic power or sample-size concepts. - Strong analytical skills and proficiency with SQL or Python, Excel, or a comparable data analysis tool. - Ability to create clear reports, dashboards, presentations, and written test readouts. - Strong attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple concurrent workstreams. - Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, ambiguous, and cross-functional environment. - Clear written and verbal communication skills. **Preferred Qualifications** - Experience with experimentation or reporting platforms such as GrowthBook, Eppo, Optimizely, VWO, Looker, Tableau, or similar tools. - Familiarity with marketplace, lending, advertising, e-commerce, lead-generation, or other two-sided platform businesses. - Exposure to funnel analysis, offer ranking, pricing, partner optimization, customer segmentation, or revenue optimization. - Experience coordinating cross-functional projects or maintaining a structured test backlog. - Experience presenting analytical findings and recommendations to business stakeholders. **What Success Looks Like** - Tests are well documented, launched on schedule, and aligned to clearly defined business questions. - Stakeholders have an accurate, up-to-date view of the test agenda, status, owners, dependencies, and next steps. - Test readouts are timely, accurate, and easy to understand. - Reporting helps teams identify performance changes, prioritize opportunities, and make faster decisions. - Experiment learnings are consistently shared and translated into follow-up actions or scalable optimization opportunities. - The team increases test velocity while maintaining sound measurement and decision quality. **Working Style** - Moves quickly from insight to action without losing analytical discipline. - Takes ownership, follows through, and proactively communicates risks or blockers. - Enjoys learning in a dynamic environment with changing priorities. - Balances speed, rigor, and practicality. - Builds strong partnerships across marketing, product, data science, engineering, finance, and operations.
