If you see a problem worth solving, you have the ownership to solve it and the support to make it happen. You should apply if you… Notice when a merchant, a process, or a metric doesn't add up and treat that as an opportunity. Aren't satisfied stopping at "churn is up" - you need to know why, down to the root cause, even when the answer is uncomfortable. Like going deep enough to become the person people ask about a problem, but know when "good enough" beats another week of polish. Aren't afraid to pick up a new tool, language, or AI assistant mid-project if it gets you to the answer faster. Enjoy tinkering with AI coding tools like Claude Code/Codex as a way to move faster on real analysis. Want your work to outlive the request it came from - you'd rather build the dashboard or create a scalable process after answering the same questions too many times Believe in data-driven decisions, but have the judgment to know when the data isn't there yet and a decision still has to be made. Have a track record of working well across Finance, Sales and Customer Success because the best answer to a retention question rarely lives in one team.
