• Play a foundational role in deciding how we can best engage and grow Etsy users by determining and prioritizing opportunities for growth through analysis of behavioral and transactional data.

• You are an expert in sophisticated statistical analyses and have experience with advanced methods (ex. Propensity Score Matching, Causal Impact, Regression Models).

• You are adept at owning and communicating your insights, verbally, visually, and in writing to peers and leaders at all technical comprehension levels. You are able to distill complex findings into impactful recommendations.
