• Data-Driven Insights: Analyze large datasets to uncover trends and opportunities, delivering actionable insights that inform marketing strategies. Regularly monitor platform performance and recommend optimizations based on data findings.
• Influencing Decision-Making: Guide and influence partners to adopt strategies and solutions that align with their goals as well as our business objectives. Serve as an advisor, simplifying complex marketing strategies for non-experts.

• Strong analytical skills with the ability to dissect data and provide actionable recommendations.
• Basic knowledge of SQL (joins, filters, aggregates) is a must, advanced (window functions, CTEs) is a plus.
• Exceptional communication, both written clear, powerful slides and spoken ability to handle conversations with stakeholders and motivate them to adopt strategic decisions.
• Exposure to sales with an understanding of how partnerships contribute to revenue growth.
• Proven track record of leading multi-stakeholder initiatives successfully.
