About the role
Join us on our mission to empower more people to find their way home by breaking barriers to entry, making the right connections, and building confidence through expert guidance. Are you a marketplace analytics expert? Are you ready to own the commercial measurement engine behind one of real estate's most visible listing-promotion products?
What You'll Do
- Design and own the canonical performance measurement framework for Spotlight Listings — defining the KPIs that actually reflect product health at scale, building the SSOT dashboards that leadership and FP&A rely on weekly, and setting the instrumentation specs that make every new SPL surface measurable from day one
- Lead experimental design for SPL pricing, packaging, and renewal interventions — scoping tests with adequate statistical power, selecting the right estimators for a two-sided marketplace setting, and delivering readouts that are defensible at the executive level and actionable for the product team
- Drive data quality and pipeline integrity across all SPL assets — investigating and resolving issues at root cause, coordinating with Engineering and the data platform team to close structural gaps permanently, and maintaining Tier 1 reliability standards
- Own SPL revenue and activation reporting end-to-end: weekly pacing for leadership, monthly inputs for FP&A, pack and subscription-level economics, and analytical support for enterprise agreements and Teams pricing pilots
- Pricing and packaging decisions, including a-la-carte vs. pack economics, guest checkout funnel conversion, and token-utilization patterns that predict renewal risk and inform proactive account outreach
What You'll Bring
- 5+ years of experience in data science or quantitative analytics, with a track record of owning a product or business unit's measurement framework end-to-end — not just contributing analyses to someone else's model
- Advanced SQL and Python skills applied to large-scale clickstream and transaction data; experience with Snowflake and dbt strongly preferred
- Demonstrated ability to translate analytical findings into commercial decisions, with evidence that your recommendations were adopted and had measurable revenue or product impact
