• Design and execute measurement frameworks — including A/B testing, causal impact analysis, and multivariate methods — selecting the appropriate technique based on the business question and clearly communicating trade-offs.
• Build, evaluate, and iterate on statistical models (e.g. regression, clustering, classification), correctly interpreting outputs and translating findings into actionable recommendations.
• Develop clear, audience-appropriate data visualisations and narratives that communicate insights to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Lead small analytical workstreams end-to-end, partnering with stakeholders to refine requirements, agree on scope, and evolve the approach based on findings.
• Automate repeated measurement and reporting tasks and build scalable dashboards, enabling self-serve analytics for stakeholders across the business.
• Produce high-quality project artefacts — including technical documentation, presentations, and executive summaries — tailored to the appropriate forum and audience.
• Collaborate openly with analytics peers, domain experts, and business stakeholders to validate approaches, share knowledge, and socialise findings.
• Provide coaching and constructive feedback to junior team members on statistical techniques, visualisation best practices, and data quality standards.
• Champion reproducibility by writing shareable, well-documented code and contributing to shared repositories such as GitHub or Confluence.

• Proficient understanding of statistical concepts including regression, ANOVA, probability, and frequentist vs. Bayesian approaches, with the ability to distinguish statistically significant results from exploratory analysis
• Experience applying a range of modelling techniques (e.g. linear and logistic regression, clustering) and iterating on models to improve accuracy and business relevance
• Proficient communication skills, with demonstrated ability to present clear data stories and insights to audiences of varying technical levels

Preferred:

• Experience in supply optimisation, pricing, marketplace analytics, or a related domain
