• Establish scalable forecasting processes that enable us to work with our cross-functional partners to efficiently & effectively refine our projections over time.

• Lead presentations to diverse audiences including senior and executive level management, distilling complex model results into clear insights & recommendations.

• Run risk and opportunity scenarios based on live content plans, new feature additions, and other potential changes in the FC product.

• Mentor and collaborate with other analysts in order to collaboratively develop our forecasts, working together to drive evolutions in our modelling in this space.

What we're looking for:

• A degree in a quantitative discipline (Analytics, Statistics, Mathematics, Economics, Finance, or similar)

• 7+ years of experience in a data-driven role performing quantitative analysis with big data to help guide decisions

• 4+ years of experience developing financial/product performance projections and forecasts using various modelling techniques
