At Yoco we build new great new products for merchants as quickly as possible by forming small autonomous, cross-functional pods capable of end to end delivery. Each pod includes a Product Manager, front and back-end engineers, QA and a product designer. From 2020 we are adding data analysts as a core skill that is required in each pod. The broader data analyst team embedded in pods will make up the new Product Insights team. As a senior in this space you will be leading analytical thinking in the Product Management space, coaching the data analysts in advanced analytics, and building out a team to scale this impact across all products.
Creating a generalised, repeatable framework for analysing user behaviour in digital platforms:
- Key to the role is building a platform that enables rapid visual analysis by all stakeholders. This encompasses the entire framework from initial setup, standardising tagging within and across platforms, and metadata management, to front-end set up and user training.
Supporting Product Managers to implement and rapidly iterate through the build, measure and learn loop:
- Ensure that data is a consideration throughout the software development lifecycle by partnering with Product Managers at the outset and feeding back to Engineering to ensure data quality.
Define great metrics to align the team:
- Parse product objectives into measurable KPIs and perform the analysis, to not only measure success but also to provide insights into explaining user behaviour and proposing experiments to validate hypotheses.
