Substack is building a new economic engine for culture, giving the brightest, most interesting, and most creative people on the internet the power of their own publishing platform. The terms of our culture should not be set by gate-keeping legacy media or chaos-fueling social media, but by the people who make and participate in that culture. Substack’s model, based on direct subscriptions, has fueled an explosion of independent publishing. It empowers creators with economic autonomy, creative ownership, and a direct connection to their most engaged audiences.
Product Analytics at Substack
The mission of the Product Analytics team at Substack is to help the product team make better decisions. Product Analytics is embedded in the Product organization, and this role reports directly to our VP of Product. We are a small and scrappy team that covers a lot of ground. You would be joining as the forth individual on the team.
Responsibilities

• Take ownership of continuously improving our understanding of the product, user base, growth trajectory, and state of play
• Proactively partner with PMs and company leadership to inform the long term, medium term, and short term strategy of your product area
• Help the team define useful metrics and set clear goals
• Share regular insightful updates with your team and across the company
• Proactively partner with engineers to invest in clean and thorough logging, ETL, and improving the ergonomics of our data
  

Requirements

• Solid understanding of product growth concepts and frameworks (e.g. retention curves, cohort analysis, growth accounting)
• Advanced SQL knowledge, and familiarity with BI tools (we use Snowflake and Periscope every day)
• Strong data visualization and written/verbal communication skills — must be able to design legible dashboards dashboards and clearly convey the salient insights for any analysis
• Solid understanding of A/B test and experimentation concepts (proper test design, power calculation, post-hoc analysis, novelty effects, etc.)
• Strong product sense and intuition — a deep understanding of Substack’s product, user base, and market position is a must
• Ability to roll up your sleeves and do what needs to be done with limited resources and support
  

This position will ideally be located in the San Francisco Bay Area, where the majority of the product and leadership team are based. Substack’s compensation package includes a market competitive salary, equity for all full time roles, and exceptional benefits. Our cash compensation salary range for this role is $150,000 - $210,000. Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors including candidate experience and expertise and may vary from the amounts listed above.
