Responsibilities
- Design and run rigorous A/B tests evaluating Messaging strategies (including channel, timing, content, and targeting) with a sharp eye for statistical validity and business relevance

- Own the code, data pipelines, and dataset enrichment your analyses depend on, so results are reliable and stakeholders can act on them with confidence
- Automate recurring analysis work such as test reads, experiment dashboards, and messaging campaign health checks, turning one-off requests into self-serve tools and repeatable workflows for the team
- Set the tone for the day-to-day partnership between Messaging DSE and CMP, translating open-ended business asks into well-scoped projects, and bringing data-grounded recommendations to inform future strategies
- Build data solutions that could scale as Messaging innovates and expands into new business verticals (e.g. Live, Games) or channels
