Team, about the role
Data Analyst for User Acquisition in our company will be responsible for analyzing marketing data, developing methodologies for evaluating metrics, and exploring non-obvious correlations between metrics. We adhere to the principles of a teal organization: no hierarchy, processes are as transparent as possible, arguments matter more than authority, and results matter more than processes. We have small teams of 3-5 people, each of whom has their own area of responsibility in which they accumulate expertise.

Research game cannibalization and much more
