  • 3+ years experience with subscription forecasting, statistical modeling, and A/B testing methodologies and comfort with descriptive statistics.
  • Expertise with SQL and data visualization tools (e.g. Tableau or Mode) and proficiency in a programming language such as Python or R for data analysis and modeling.
  • Resilience and agility to react and communicate fast, prioritizing time on the most impactful projects
  • Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to present complex ideas and results to non-technical stakeholders.
