Is This Role For You?

For You If
  • You love mining data to answer 'why' questions about customer behavior, retention, and lifetime value—not just building dashboards
  • You're fluent in SQL and can translate business questions into queries on massive datasets (40M customers, 60K products, 180 countries)
  • You thrive in fast-paced e-commerce/DTC environments where every insight needs to drive measurable business outcomes
  • You communicate complex findings to non-technical stakeholders with clarity and persuasion; you're a storyteller with numbers
Won't Work If
  • You prefer heads-down reporting work over strategic insight discovery; this role requires proactive hypothesis testing and curiosity
  • You lack hands-on experience with SQL, cohort analysis, or retention marketing in e-commerce—this isn't an entry-level role
  • You're not comfortable working on-site in Irvine, CA full-time
