- **Building automated dashboards**: Create dashboards for upgrade conversion rates, repeat purchase behaviour, customer lifetime value (LTV), and unit economics

- **Designing agent performance and incentive analytics**: Build dashboards tracking call volume, conversion rates, talk time efficiency, lead quality, and revenue per agent. Design data-driven incentive structures and real-time leaderboards

- Experience combining data from multiple sources (Amplitude, Mixpanel, Statsig, Braze, CleverTap, call-center data)

- Understanding of experiment design and analysis

- Experience designing performance metrics and incentive structures

**The Why**

You'll have direct impact on business decisions through data, working with cutting-edge analytics tools and solving complex problems that matter.

You'll build systems from the ground up, transform how teams work by moving them from spreadsheets to modern data platforms, and see the tangible results of your work in improved customer experiences and business growth. You'll collaborate with cross-functional teams including product, growth, telesales, and data science, gaining broad exposure to different aspects of the business while developing expertise in growth analytics for emerging markets.

**Our Team**

This team is responsible for driving customer acquisition, activation, retention, and lifetime value across M-KOPA's digital channels and telesales operations.
