  • Strong commercial judgement: able to connect organic and brand metrics to acquisition efficiency, retention, LTV and profitability.
  • Ability to communicate complex analysis simply, with clear narratives and recommendations.

Preferred

  • Hands-on experience with SEO/ASO analytics (e.g. search console, keyword analysis, store listing optimisation) or social/content analytics.

  • Experience shifting acquisition mix from paid to organic/owned or building new organic/brand programs from scratch.
  • Experience in consumer fintech, high-growth consumer apps or subscription products.
