• Define core product and feature metrics and develop reporting and self-serve experiences in Looker and Amplitude to guarantee consistent and efficient access to these metrics
• Collaborate with Product, Engineering, and Analytics Engineering to ensure proper tracking and instrumentation of new product initiatives and features
• Play a foundational role in building a data culture at Flexport by defining standards and practices for how product groups work with data and providing a strong voice for a data-informed point of view
• Manage the design, implementation, and evaluation of experiments and develop and socialize a rigorous culture of experimentation across all product teams
• Collaborate with UX research to design and evaluate surveys and surface quantitative insights on customer experience
• Collaborate cross-functionally with sister analytics teams at Flexport to share best practices, insights and innovations

• Experience presenting findings to business partners across the organization, including executive leadership
• Solid understanding of customer-centric digital product analysis
• Experience with schema design and dimensional data modeling.
• A foundational understanding of statistical techniques such as regression, predictive modeling, forecasting, time series analysis, and clustering and apply those to answer business needs

What you’re like:

• Laser focused on impact, balancing effort to value, and getting things done.
• Charismatic storyteller ready to lead growth conversations with senior leadership.

• Highly productive: Work independently on a day-to-day basis. This role is intended for somebody who will take meaningful responsibility and initiative for our business metrics.
