Role
Who you are
- We value curiosity, pragmatism, and a strong product intuition — always balancing speed with rigor to help Upside move faster and smarter
- 5+ years of experience in product analytics, data science, or experimentation - ideally within a cross-functional product team
- Demonstrated ability to partner closely with business stakeholders to influence roadmaps and make data-driven decisions
- Strong proficiency in SQL and/or Python to organize and analyze multiple large datasets - we use Snowflake
- Comfort with data visualization tools - we use Looker and Hex
- Familiarity with event-based product analytics and the art of defining meaningful events and properties - we use Figma, Segment, and Mixpanel
- Experience designing, launching, and analyzing A/B tests — including power analysis, user bucketing, and success metrics - we use Optimizely
- Thoughtful perspective on experimentation strategy and growth — you understand not just what happened, but why it matters
- Strong written and verbal communication skills — can explain statistical results to non-technical audiences and guide decision-making
- Comfort working in a fast-paced, iterative environment — balancing rigor and speed while maintaining a bias for action
- A collaborative, low-ego working style — you thrive in a team that values shared wins, deep curiosity, and candid feedback
What the job involves
- The Product Analytics team is a collaborative group of data scientists, experimentation specialists, and analytics partners who use data to improve the Upside app experience and drive measurable growth
- We're embedded across Upside’s consumer product team, where we shape strategy through deep analysis, robust experimentation, and thoughtful storytelling
- Support Consumer Product team with KPI reporting, setting OKRs, and preparing for regular product reviews
- Shape the product roadmap through exploratory analysis and hypothesis generation grounded in our growth objectives
- Conduct root-cause investigations and pre/post analyses to understand the “why?” behind user behavior and product performance
- Contribute to forecasting by estimating and then measuring the revenue impact of product initiatives
- Build intuitive dashboards and data products that bring clarity to complex user journeys and product KPIs
- Partner with Product and Engineering to define, QA, and document events and properties that enable product analytics, ensuring robust instrumentation for experimentation and monitoring
- Design, launch, and analyze A/B tests across the Upside consumer app in collaboration with product managers, engineers, and designers including clear test plans, power calculations, and experiment swimlanes
- Bring curiosity, initiative, and strong product thinking to help us scale experimentation and analytics best practices across Upside
Our take
Loyalty systems, vouchers, and other special offers have a proven track record at winning over new customers for businesses. However customers can be reluctant to sign up due to the sheer number of these schemes. Upside exists to unify these loyalty schemes with a single flexible reward app.
While retail reward platforms are nothing new, Upside functions more like a marketplace, linking participating businesses to potential customers. It also rewards customers with cash back on eligible purchases, a more flexible reward than is traditional in loyalty schemes. With over 50,000 businesses enrolled and 30 million app users, Upside has grown into a major player in this sector.
Having secured investments in a 2022 round of equity funding, Upside expanded into mobile payments, growing its value to over $1.5 billion. Upside is moving to scale its operations by hiring additional talent and forming new partnerships with brands and businesses. As growing inflation impacts the cost of living, Upside's product will likely be increasingly appreciated by consumers and businesses who depend on their custom.
