  • Establish a company-wide hypothesis testing and experimentation framework.
  • Design and evaluate A/B tests and controlled experiments.
  • Ensure business decisions are supported by statistically sound analysis.
  • Champion a culture of evidence-based decision making.

Stakeholder Management

  • Collaborate closely with Marketing, Product, Technology, Operations, and Commercial teams.
  • Resolve cross-functional alignment on data definitions and reporting standards.
  • Present analytical insights to senior leadership and executive stakeholders.

Team Building

  • Design the future analytics team structure.
  • Recruit and onboard analytics talent aligned with company culture and business goals.

Months 1–6

  • Build the analytics infrastructure and technology stack.
  • Implement event tracking across all customer touchpoints.
  • Deploy centralized data warehouse and transformation pipelines.
  • Launch UUID-based attribution across all marketing channels.

Months 6–9
