Advanced SQL - comfortable writing multi-CTE queries against a cloud warehouse (Snowflake/BigQuery) unaided.
Proficiency in Python or R.
Experience building and maintaining dashboards/reports in a BI tool (e.g. Lightdash, Tableau).
Data quality mindset - auditing and fixing data discrepancies.
Familiarity with different attribution models and a general understanding of the limitations and trade-offs involved in measuring marketing performance.
