• Experience analysing data across an app’s features, finding insights about what motivates players/customer to keep coming back, or friction that leads to churn
• Knowledge of probability and statistics, to draw conclusions from models & tests
• Data storytelling and visualisation skills to translate granular data into dashboards and presentations for different audiences
• Familiarity with different segmentation methods, to group a population by similar behaviours or attributes
• Exposure to optimising a complex system such as an economy or onboarding flow

Technical Stack:
