Information about the position 

As our new Decision Scientist, you will join the Seller Intelligence team, which is responsible for domain-level or broader analytical projects to help us understand our sellers' needs and ensure domain-wide data availability.

In this position, you’ll 

• Collaborate with your team and direct stakeholders to identify strategic opportunities and answer key business questions

• Work on deepening understanding of our seller base and their needs
• Set up and own the key performance indicators for the domain, including selection, forecasting, and proactively flagging issues
• Enable your team and direct stakeholders to independently leverage data for business insights via dashboarding tools (Looker)
• Inspire the usage of data & analytics within the domain to make data-driven decisions
