Senior Product Analyst for Data Products

Relocation | Germany

THE ROLE AND THE TEAM

As a Senior Product Analyst for Data Products, you bring deep expertise in the multi-channel marketplace ecosystem.

• You understand the mechanics of how large-scale sellers, mid-size tiers, and aggregators drive profitability across diverse platforms, and how they steer complex operations on a daily basis.
• You combine strong analytical rigor with a clear product mindset. You don’t just report on data; you interpret marketplace dynamics, challenge assumptions, and define the metrics and decision frameworks required to drive meaningful product and business decisions — without needing to build the underlying models yourself. You effectively leverage AI and automation to explore, validate, and scale solutions to complex product and data challenges.
• You operate at the intersection of Product, Data, and Engineering to ensure our data products deliver decision-ready insights that enable brands and partners to understand and steer their performance across marketplaces.
• You play a key role in shaping product discovery and direction — identifying not just what can be built, but what should be built to solve real customer problems and create measurable business impact.
• You define and evolve KPI frameworks and data product logic, ensuring consistent, scalable, and transparent metrics that enable cross-channel steering and long-term commercial success.

• Translate business and product questions into clear analytical and data requirements, specifying what data, dimensions, and granularity are required to generate meaningful and actionable insights

• Interpret dashboards, analyses, and insights from a business logic, product usability, and customer perspective, ensuring outputs are actionable, trustworthy, and drive decisions
• Act as a bridge between Product, Data, and Engineering, aligning on what should be built and why, and ensuring shared understanding of business context and priorities
• Leverage AI and automation to enhance insight generation, improve product capabilities, and identify new opportunities for data-driven product innovation
