- Analyze product data and work with the product and engineering teams to drive product improvements and help build the product roadmap
- Partner cross-functionally with the Risk and Data (RAD) team to help inform new fraud analysis and translate that analysis into easy-to-understand reporting and products; stay current on model and product changes, and translate those changes into merchant-facing insights
What We're Looking For:

- Understanding of consumer brands, ecommerce, and important metrics and benchmarks in the industry; ideally you have used data and analysis to drive business decisions at an ecommerce company / consumer brand

- Experience with Snowflake
- Familiarity with Tableau
- Understanding of how to use AI to drive process improvement and drive efficiency across the organization
