## What they're looking for

- Original research experience. You've run benchmarks, market studies, or performance studies — designing the question and the method, not just running standard reports
- An SEO / search discovery background. You understand discovery from the inside and have grown into rigorous, data-driven measurement of it
- Experimentation chops. You've designed and run A/B tests or similar to validate an idea and separate signal from noise
- Storytelling with data. You can turn raw numbers into a clear narrative and a defensible point of view, and explain complex findings to non-technical audiences
- Comfort with ambiguity. You can help build a measurement function from scratch, not just execute one someone else designed
- Deep curiosity about commerce. Genuine interest in e-commerce, marketing, and analytics — you want to understand why shoppers and algorithms behave the way they do
