What we need::

Required Skills & Experience:

• You have an analytics background. You can write moderately complex SQL queries with some guidance, use behavioural analytics tools like Contentsquare to draw out user journeys, and you have robust knowledge of Google Analytics – including GA4.

• You have a good understanding and can use statistical methods such as hypothesis testing and confidence intervals to draw valid conclusions and recommendations.
