About the Role
Our client, a dental supply marketplace, is looking for a Strategy Analyst to join the Data and Analytics team and support the Product Management team responsible for building and improving the company's e-commerce website. This role will help Product Managers and UX Designers make better product feature decisions by analyzing customer behavior across the website, evaluating product changes, supporting experimentation, diagnosing funnel issues, and investigating anomalies in site performance.
This is a product-facing analytics role for someone who can use web analytics, clickstream-derived datasets, customer and order data, experiment results, and behavioral/session evidence to understand how users interact with the site and translate detailed behavioral analysis into clear recommendations. It is intended for someone who enjoys investigative analysis and deep dives into why performance changed.

- Web, Funnel, and E-Commerce Journey Analytics (15%): Analyze user behavior across the e-commerce website to identify friction points, drop-offs, and opportunities to improve the customer experience.
- Anomaly Detection and Investigative Analysis (15%): Investigate unexpected changes in website behavior, funnel performance, conversion, revenue, traffic, or customer activity. Help Product and business teams quickly understand whether something is a real issue, what is likely driving it, and what action should be taken.
- Feature Prioritization and Trade-off Analysis (20%): Support Product Managers in using data to evaluate feature opportunities, prioritize work, and understand trade-offs across customer experience, conversion, revenue, operational complexity, and technical effort.

Ideal Candidate Profile
The ideal candidate is highly collaborative, curious, analytical, and business-minded. They are comfortable working with messy website behavior data and can move from a vague product question to a structured analysis. They do not stop at "conversion dropped." They dig into where it dropped, who was affected, what changed, whether the tracking is reliable, what the event-level behavior shows, and whether the evidence is strong enough to recommend action.
