• Collect regional user requirements and data gaps and feed them back to the internal dashboard-development team.
• Audit performance metrics such as lead flow, multi-touch attribution and conversion velocity.
• Communicate findings clearly to stakeholders at varying levels of technical and business fluency.

Required profile

• Solid business acumen with a deep understanding of B2B marketing funnels, lead lifecycles and pipeline mechanics.
• Collaborative communicator confident in facilitating stakeholder meetings and challenging business assumptions.
• Advanced diagnostic outlook, able to interpret patterns in existing reports and form testable hypotheses.
• Proactive problem-solver comfortable with ambiguous requests and evolving regional execution models.
• Data storytelling ability, turning analytical charts into simple, high-impact business narratives.
• 3-5 years of experience in marketing analytics, business intelligence, strategy consulting or a highly analytical marketing operations role.

Required skills

• Dashboard interpretation with enterprise BI tools such as Tableau, Power BI or Looker.
• Intermediate Excel/Google Sheets for manipulating, pivoting and modeling data.
• Navigating data models and pulling native reports in CRMs (Salesforce preferred) and marketing automation platforms (Marketo preferred).
• Basic SQL knowledge preferred.

• Health coverage for you and your family in many locations.
• Flexible locations and schedules for many roles.
• Generous number of vacation days each year.
• Matching of up to $2,000 (or local currency equivalent) for financial donations and service, and up to 40 hours per year for volunteering.
