- Strong SQL skills and experience working with large datasets
- Experience using Python or R for data analysis
- Experience supervising or managing small teams (1‑2 people)
- Solid understanding of cohort analysis, segmentation, and statistical methods (e.g. regression, correlation)
- Ability to critically evaluate data, including bias and confounding factors
- Strong communication skills with both technical and non‑technical stakeholders
- A natural curiosity — particularly around learning and behaviour
