What You will Do: • Analyze and evaluate CPC-based advertising and search initiatives, including eligibility, targeting, relevance, and bidding mechanisms. • Design and execute experiments (A/B tests) to measure impact on advertiser performance, buyer experience, and marketplace health. • Perform deep-dive analyses on large-scale datasets to generate actionable insights for product and business teams. • Translate complex analytical findings into clear, concise insights that inform product decisions. • Partner closely with Ads Product, Engineering, and Analytics teams to define metrics, interpret results, and drive iteration. • Support initiatives related to ads serving and platform evolution, including single ads server initiatives. • Ensure analytical outputs consider ecosystem-level tradeoffs across buyers, sellers, advertisers, and revenue. What You Bring (Must have requirements): • 4-8 years of experience in analytics and data science would be ideal. • Strong hands-on analytical skills using SQL, with working knowledge of Python. • Experience using visualization tools such as Tableau to communicate insights. • Ability to analyze large-scale datasets (e.g., Hadoop-based environments) and translate data into meaningful insights. • Solid grounding in descriptive and inferential statistics, with the ability to build basic prototype or exploratory models. • Strong problem-solving skills and ability to connect analytical insights to business and ecosystem impact. • Proactive collaborator with effective written and verbal communication skills. Preferred Skills: • Experience and strong understanding of advertising mechanisms and search experience (e.g., CPC, targeting, relevance, bidding). • Ability to present sophisticated analyses in simple, intuitive terms to non-technical stakeholders. • Prior experience in a leading technology or internet-scale company. • Exposure to e-commerce or marketplace product analytics. • Familiarity with advertising pricing mechanisms (e.g., CPC bidding, auction dynamics). • Experience working in cross-functional product or platform teams. Why Join?: • Work inside a GCC that operates at genuine internet scale - your analysis influences millions of transactions daily. • Own meaningful work from day one; no vanity dashboards, just decisions that move real business metrics. • A fast-expanding India centre with a clear growth track. • Collaborative, cross-functional teams where data science has a genuine seat at the product table. • Competitive compensation benchmarked to top-tier tech, with a hybrid work setup in Bellandur, Bengaluru.
