You'll help your team understand the unmet needs of our clients and users, and evangelize these insights to inform our product strategy and new product development to make sure we are solving real problems for both users and customers.
As a Senior Data Analyst, Innovation you will become a go to expert of the data behind Product Innovation and how it ties to our business objectives. You'll partner closely with key stakeholders throughout the product, marketing and engineering organizations to deliver key insights and strategic input that ensures Stack Overflow's products remain the most trusted and innovative knowledge sharing product in the world, and enable Stack to 10x revenue over the next five years. You will do this by empowering the Innovation team with the right datasets and insights to evaluate potential long-term investments in new products and potential innovations.

• Collaborate on analysis of current programmatic beta initiatives and identify opportunities for improvement.
• Partner with business and product leaders to define and iterate on the use of the most high-leverage KPIs across products and the organization
• Discuss data "blind spots" and enhancement requests with business partners, and brainstorm solutions. Subsequently scope the necessary work and set proper expectations on when solutions can be delivered based on priority and effort.
• Collaborate with other analysts throughout the business to ensure data is consistent and reliable, proactively identifying issues and proactively participating in resolution where needed.
• Collaborate with Product Managers, UX Designers and User Researchers to identify and develop new products that optimize for desired outcomes.
• Prepare and deliver business requirement reviews to management regarding progress and blockers.

• Expertise building dashboards and reporting for stakeholders, including actionable detailed reports for front line stakeholders, and high level reporting to help drive decision making at the executive level.
• An extensive track record of successful cross functional project experience and an innate ability to develop strong partnerships with peers throughout the organization.

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, turning complex data analysis into actionable business insights that non technical stakeholders can interpret.
• A proven track record of scoping and delivering solutions on time and to specifications.
