- Partner with Growth and Lifecycle Marketing on acquisition quality, funnel performance, cohort health, promotional effectiveness, winback programs, and LTV/CAC context.
- Partner with Product, Design, and Data Science on customer journey analysis, feature adoption, experimentation readouts, and insight generation across the viewing and account experience.
- Partner with Content, Programming, and Marketing to understand which channels, titles, and viewing patterns drive acquisition, engagement, retention, upsell, and free-to-paid conversion opportunities.
- Support customer-facing and operational teams with insights into support contact drivers, account issues, billing friction, and subscriber pain points where analytical clarity can improve the customer experience.
- Build executive-ready materials that connect numbers to narrative, synthesize tradeoffs, and help technical and non-technical stakeholders make decisions with confidence.
- Improve the quality and trustworthiness of business data by partnering with analytics engineering and data engineering on instrumentation, metric governance, source-of-truth logic, and data quality issues.
- Help raise the analytical bar across the organization through clear documentation, thoughtful prioritization, and a pragmatic balance of speed and rigor.

- Strong experience building data visualizations, dashboards, and self-serve reporting environments in BI tools such as Mode, Omni, Tableau, Looker, etc.
- A proven track record of translating vague business questions into clear analyses, sharp recommendations, and polished decision-ready narratives and presentations.
