Director, Advanced Analytics at Cookunity · LumiJobs

Responsibilities

As a Director, Advanced Analytics, you will lead CookUnity’s Advanced Analytics function, helping the business understand performance, identify opportunities, and make better decisions across product performance, retention, and growth.
This is a hands-on, player-coach leadership role. You will tackle complex analytical problems while developing the team, providing technical direction, and raising the quality and impact of its work. You will also help shape the team’s structure, priorities, and ways of working as the business evolves.
Your focus will be advanced analytics, experimentation, and measurement, working in partnership with the separate Data Science/ML and Engineering teams responsible for deploying models into products and systems.
Strategic Direction & Business Partnership
Set the direction for Advanced Analytics. Build a proactive analytical agenda aligned with CookUnity’s priorities. Establish clear ownership, prioritize high-impact questions, and balance immediate business needs with longer-term capability building.
Turn insights into business impact. Bring an independent analytical perspective to leadership discussions, communicate recommendations clearly, and evaluate how the resulting decisions affect business outcomes. Be the person driving key business and product decisions based on advanced analytics insights.
Advanced Analytics & Experimentation
Measure the impact of product, operational, and pricing decisions. Use experimentation and causal inference to determine how changes to the customer experience, operational processes, pricing, and loyalty programs affect conversion, ordering, retention, and profitability. Apply quasi-experimental methods when randomized tests aren’t feasible, and clearly communicate assumptions and uncertainty.
Lead growth experimentation. Partner with Growth and Product to design, prioritize and evaluate tests across acquisition, activation, offers and lifecycle engagement. Connect short-term conversion gains to longer-term retention and customer value.
Lead hands-on analytical work. Dive into complex problems, challenge assumptions, and guide methodological choices. Provide technical direction from problem framing through analysis, interpretation, and communication.
Business Performance & Product Impact
Explain churn and retention drivers. Investigate how customer mix, pricing, promotions, meal quality, menu availability and the delivery experience influence weekly ordering, skips, pauses and cancellations. Turn those findings into prioritized opportunities to improve retention and lifetime value, and drive better business strategy and product feature outcomes.
