• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (fundraising, marketing, and operations) to measure program effectiveness, including conducting A/B testing and summarizing key learnings with recommendations.
• Consolidate key business performance insights from prior years to guide future planning, partnering with relevant teams to gather and analyze data.
• Help define and refine KPIs, benchmarks, and measurement frameworks for organizational programs.

• A bachelor's or graduate degree in data science, mathematics, engineering, or related field – or equivalent experience.
• 3+ years experience in data analysis, reporting, market research, or a similar field.
• Proficiency in SQL and Python, with the ability to work with diverse datasets and apply analytic techniques (e.g., regression, clustering, time-series forecasting).
