* Defining and tracking critical KPIs (margins, churn, cash flow, cost per transaction, etc.).
* Leading our internal development team by setting priorities and translating business needs into concrete technical requirements.
* Overseeing the creation of an internal analytics CRM capable — also with the help of AI — of suggesting operational actions and data-driven strategies.
* Translating data into clear, immediately actionable insights to support fast and focused decision-making.
What We’re Looking For
* Degree in a quantitative field (Mathematics, Statistics, Computer Science, Engineering, or similar).
* Solid experience in data science, predictive modeling, and machine learning.
* Strong command of Python (pandas, scikit-learn, numpy, etc.) and SQL.
* Experience with data visualization tools (e.g., Power BI, Tableau, Metabase).
* Ability to manage projects and collaborate with development teams.
* Strategic and results-oriented mindset, with a strong focus on costs, margins, and business performance.
* Familiarity with AI-powered analytics and the ability to evaluate when and how to apply AI in business decision-making.
