* Analyse product and sales performance data (user engagement, retention, conversion rates, revenue) to inform strategic decisions.
* Lead customer feedback loops and market research efforts to continuously align our offerings with evolving client and market demands.
* Report on progress and key results to senior leadership and adjust plans accordingly to hit quarterly and annual targets.
Skills & Experience Required
