Run product analytics — funnels, cohorts, retention, and traveler behavior — and turn the findings into clear insights that inform prioritization.
Design and analyze experiments (A/B tests), delivering honest, timely readouts the product team can act on.
Build and maintain dashboards and self-serve reporting so most questions can be answered quickly and consistently.
Partner closely with Product, Marketing, and engineering to frame questions, size opportunities, and measure impact.
Communicate findings with clear storytelling — turning numbers into a decision or recommendation.

Proven senior-level experience as a data or product analyst.
Advanced SQL and strong data-analysis skills, including the ability to define and defend metrics.

Familiarity with AI-driven tools or workflows and applying data/AI concepts to real-world products responsibly.

Nice-to-haves

Proficiency with Python (or R) for analysis.
Experience with a modern analytics stack (for example, dbt, a cloud warehouse such as BigQuery or Snowflake, and BI tools such as Looker or Metabase).
Experience with marketing/acquisition analytics and attribution modeling, including an understanding of its limitations.
Experience analyzing traveler, marketplace, or e-commerce behavior.
Experience using AI-assisted tools (for example, Claude or similar) or integrating AI/ML insights to improve productivity and quality.
