• Design A/B experiments to drive product direction with iterative innovation and measurement
• Drive the team's analysis roadmap and prioritize the most valuable projects

• Dive deep into the data to understand how creator and viewer behaviors change with the evolution of our product
• Act as our team's thought leader on best practices and move towards long-term vision of sustainable and thriving data processes
• Own data collection and product instrumentation implementation and quality assurance
• Work hand-in-hand with business, product, engineering, and design to proactively influence and inform teammates' decisions throughout the product life cycle
• Distill ambiguous product or business questions, find clever ways to answer them, and to quantify the uncertainty

Requirements
