Senior Data Analyst for the ML Autotasking Team

About the Team

ML Autotasking is an internal product for the sales department, offering services to Avito sellers. The product enhances team efficiency through smart automation of commercial proposals (CP). It is a key solution for the commercial department.

The core of the product is the generation and ranking of commercial proposals, which is fully under analytics responsibility. One of the team's main focuses is scaling solutions to new segments. To make quality decisions, it is crucial for us to understand the real value of a manager's interaction with a seller regarding a specific CP. This is a complex task as it requires evaluating the effect of individual touchpoints, essentially solving an uplift modeling problem. Monetary metrics are too noisy for rapid hypothesis testing, so we actively use proxy metrics built on the sales funnel.

Our strategic goal is to fully digitize the sales process, identify effective patterns, and use them in LLM-based sales chatbots. Analytics here is closely tied to business: the department director has a strong analytical background, and the commercial department operates with a data-driven approach and a developed culture of A/B testing.

Examples of future tasks:

• Investigate inefficiencies in the sales process for CPs (analyzing the funnel and ongoing A/B tests with holdout groups) and communicate the importance of fixing them to product managers;

• Build metrics to better digitize the sales funnel (based on seller actions in the account and LLM-extracted features from dialogues);

• Roll out ranking in new segments, proving a positive effect against the baseline;

• Improve the methodology for calculating the impact of our initiatives on incremental revenue.
