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.
