About the Role
Data is central to Twitch's decision-making process, and analysts are a critical component to evangelize data-driven decision making in all of our operations. As an analyst at Twitch, you will be on the ground floor with your team, shaping the way product performance is measured, defining what questions should be asked, and scaling analytics methods and tools to support our growing business, leading the way for high quality, high velocity decisions for your team.
For this role, we're looking for an experienced product analyst who will help develop the strategy and evaluate/improve product initiatives within our Creator product team. You will be responsible to define and track KPIs, design experiments, evaluate A/B tests, implement data instrumentation, and inform on investment. Our ideal candidate is a "full-stack" data powerhouse who uses data to drive decision making to make the best products for our creators and their communities.

You will work closely with product managers, technical program managers, engineering, data analysts, and organization leadership within and outside of the Creator organization.
You Will:
- Inform product strategies by defining and updating core metrics for each initiative

- Evaluate and forecast impact of product features on creators, viewers, and the entire Twitch ecosystem
- Design A/B experiments to drive product direction with iterative innovation and measurement
- Drive the team's analysis roadmap and prioritize the most valuable projects

- Dive deep into the data to understand how creator and viewer behaviors change with the evolution of our product
- Act as our team's thought leader on best practices and move towards long-term vision of sustainable and thriving data processes
- Own data collection and product instrumentation implementation and quality assurance
- Work hand-in-hand with business, product, engineering, and design to proactively influence and inform teammates' decisions throughout the product lifecycle
You Have:
- 3+ years of domain experience in a mobile or consumer internet business, or in a high-velocity, high-growth product or team
- Expert fluency in SQL-based data manipulation
- Experience building aggregates and optimizing data workstreams
- Experience designing and assessing impact of A/B experiments in a fast-paced product development cycle
