Full Job Description
Role Overview:

This role sits within the Product Strategy & Operations team and acts as a strategic partner to Product leadership. The team is responsible for shaping growth strategy, driving its execution, and ensuring the insights that reach the C-suite are rigorous, reliable, and actionable.

Unlike traditional analytics or reporting roles, this position operates in highly ambiguous environments where problems are not clearly defined and data is often incomplete or evolving.

The expectation is not just to analyze data, but to form a point of view, pressure-test assumptions, and influence decisions at the senior leadership level.

You will be exposed to all aspects of the Genesys Cloud business, from product adoption and retention to ecosystem positioning and growth planning, and will partner closely with cross-functional leaders across Product, Finance, Customer Success, and Sales.

This role requires a strong balance of structured thinking, analytical rigor, and business judgment. Success comes from the ability to connect data to outcomes and drive clarity in situations where answers are not obvious.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Partner with Product leadership to define problems, frame analyses, and drive strategic decisions
  • Translate business and product signals into clear recommendations for senior stakeholders
  • Lead ambiguous, ad hoc analyses across growth, retention, adoption, and product performance
  • Identify key drivers of business outcomes and proactively surface insights and opportunities
  • Pressure-test data and assumptions to ensure accuracy before insights reach leadership
  • Support executive-level deliverables (QBRs, strategic reviews, board materials) with clear narratives
  • Collaborate cross-functionally across Product, Finance, Customer Success, and GTM teams
  • Bring structure to undefined problems and build analytical approaches from scratch

Required Qualifications:
  • 5 to 8 years of experience in a rigorous analytical environment: management consulting, investment banking, product management, Big 4 advisory, or a high-performance in-house strategy or FP&A function
  • Exceptional attention to detail with a natural instinct for catching inconsistencies and pressure-testing outputs before they reach stakeholders
  • Strong critical thinking skills; able to consider the broader strategic implications of analysis, connect findings to business context, and ask the next right question
  • Fluency with Excel including familiarity with statistics, optimization, customer retention, and cohort analysis frameworks, ideally in a recurring-revenue or SaaS context
  • Outstanding written and verbal communication skills; able to convey nuanced analysis succinctly to both technical and non-technical audiences, including senior executives
  • High degree of ownership and self-direction; comfortable operating with ambiguity and driving work forward independently
  • Demonstrated ability to influence decisions across cross-functional teams

Preferred Qualifications:
  • Experience with Tableau, Snowflake, and emerging AI tools (e.g., Cursor, Zenlytic)
  • Familiarity with Python or R for analytical work (a plus)
  • Prior exposure to cloud software, SaaS, or contact center / CCaaS markets
  • Experience working with product or growth metrics (e.g., retention, adoption, engagement, revenue)
  • Experience supporting or preparing materials for board-level or executive leadership audiences

Additional Information:
This is a high-visibility role with direct exposure to Product leadership and the opportunity to influence key decisions across the business. It is suited for someone who enjoys solving complex problems, operating in ambiguity, and using data to shape strategy rather than simply reporting on it. This is not a traditional reporting, business intelligence, dashboard development, or data infrastructure role; the person in this role will operate as an internal consulting partner to Product leadership, combining hands-on analysis with high-level business judgment. While the role sits close to product strategy and execution, it is not a pure product management or program management role.

Compensation:

This role has a market-competitive salary with an anticipated base compensation range listed below. Actual salaries will vary depending on a candidate’s experience, qualifications, skills, and location. This role might also be eligible for a commission or performance-based bonus opportunities.  

$129,300.00 - $227,300.00

Benefits:

  • Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance. 

  • Telehealth coverage

  • Flexible work schedules and work from home opportunities

  • Development and career growth opportunities

  • Open Time Off in addition to 10 paid holidays

  • 401(k) matching program

  • Adoption Assistance

  • Fertility treatments
