The Challenge
Figma is the global standard for collaborative design. As Marketing Analytics Lead, you'll own the data infrastructure that drives go-to-market decisions across a hypergrowth design platform used by millions.
Your Mission

Implement real-time dashboards for demand gen, product adoption, and customer expansion metrics; connect Figma product data to marketing attribution
Define and operationalize 8-10 core marketing KPIs with clear ownership; build internal analytics literacy across GTM teams
Conduct first customer cohort analysis: identify highest-LTV segments and optimize spend allocation accordingly
Design and deploy multi-touch attribution model across paid search, social, partnerships, and product channels; quantify CAC by segment
Build predictive models for opportunity scoring and lead quality; improve sales acceptance rate (SAR) by 20%+
Establish quarterly business reviews (QBRs) with CMO and CFO; present data-driven budget reallocation recommendations
Scale analytics infrastructure: implement dbt, improve data warehouse query performance, and reduce reporting latency to <24hrs
KPIs You'll Own

Is This Role For You?

- You've driven real revenue impact through analytics-cohort analysis, attribution, unit economics optimization
- You thrive in ambiguity and wear multiple hats; comfortable evangelizing data culture across non-analytical teams
