Your job will be to connect the company data, market data, and historical learnings to enable unbiased decisions and to highlight patterns and causality that are not visible to the naked eye. To succeed in this role, you'll need to be very attentive to detail, technical, passionate about learning, strong at collecting and connecting inputs, meticulous with numbers and texts, and somewhat in love with macroeconomics. You will need to be able to take a strong stand and adamantly but objectively defend your findings in front of partners.
