Responsibilities

• Understand user behavior

Map key journeys (onboarding → activation → habitual use). Quantify drop-offs and identify behaviors linked to long-term engagement using funnels, cohorts, and retention analyses.

• Drive product growth

Quantify and forecast the impact of product changes on activation, engagement, and retention using funnels/cohorts; provide evidence and confidence ranges to inform prioritization.

• Measure impact of changes

Help design and analyze A/B tests with product and engineering; define primary and guardrail metrics; share results and next steps in plain language.

• Make analytics usable across teams

Publish decision-ready dashboards and short write-ups that answer: what changed, why, what to do next. Keep metric definitions consistent and documented; contribute to model development so trusted data is easy to reuse.

• Support customer-facing reporting

Help define and maintain usage metrics for school/district admins (embedded or in-product), with reliability checks and clear definitions.

• Run clean intake for ad-hoc requests

Triage by impact/effort/urgency/data-readiness; set acceptance criteria and timelines; ship the smallest useful artifact first; templatize common asks.
