Your Impact
Content analytics and performance
Learner satisfaction and feedback
Business impact
: Own cohort design and methodology (propensity/segment matching) connecting Trailhead engagement signals (TBIDs, badges, Agentblazer status) to commercial outcomes (NNAOV, Win Rate Lift, Time-to-Close, Account Penetration), with defensible bias controls, not just directional correlation.
- Architect and own a
semantic model of content performance
spanning all three facets — shared metric and cohort definitions that persist and adapt as the Trailhead catalog, survey infrastructure, and AI tooling evolve, rather than one-off analyses that go stale.
- Structure both structured (engagement, business) and unstructured (survey/qualitative) data to be
agent-queryable
— usable by AI layers to reason directly over content quality, learner sentiment, and business outcome questions, not just populate a static dashboard.
- Own the logic and definitions that connect learner identity data to business/sales records, content completions to sales opportunities, and survey responses to the specific content they reference
- Lead the platform strategy for dashboards and models — keeping pace with Salesforce's evolving analytics and approved AI tooling — and lead the build of the underlying semantic model as our platform evolves.
- Translate findings across all three facets into a single, clear narrative for content owners, Trailhead leadership, Marketing, Product, Sales and Customer Success leadership — distinguishing high-confidence findings from directional ones.
Required Skills & Experience
- 5+ years in data analytics or data science, spanning both structured (SQL/engagement/CRM) and unstructured (qualitative/text/survey) data analysis — this is a genuinely three-sided role, not a single-discipline one.
- Comfort applying data science methods (cohort/propensity matching, predictive modeling, causal inference) to answer "does this actually work" questions, not just descriptive reporting.
- Advanced SQL experience querying large-scale cloud data warehouses (e.g. Snowflake), including learner activity data and sales/CRM data (opportunities, order line items, contracts).
- Experience structuring and analyzing unstructured/qualitative data — open-text survey responses, sentiment/theme extraction — turning free text into reportable, comparable signal.
- Working knowledge of cohort/propensity-matching methodology for business impact analysis.
- Expert Tableau dashboard-building, with strong data visualization and design sense; hands-on experience using AI-assisted development tools (e.g. Claude Code, Cursor) to build, query, and maintain dashboards and models.
- Executive-ready storytelling across content performance, learner sentiment, and commercial impact narratives.
