- Create thought-leading economic research and analysis leveraging Life360 data and external datasets to surface new insights about families and the business
- Write benchmark reports and publish insights
- Serve as Life360's public spokesperson on family behavior and consumer mobility trends, engaging media and speaking at industry events in partnership with Comms
- Build repeatable seasonal adjustment frameworks for retail/food service visit trends; own caveating methodology when data history is less than 3 years
- Develop a pipeline of data PR narratives (brand-specific and category-level) for economic/consumer/financial press
- Identify where Life360's first-party data creates a differentiated narrative angle
- Collaborate and work with Product, Engineering, Ads and the Data & Analytics team to align on what data infrastructure investments unlock the best storytelling ROI.

- Being scrappy. Working knowledge of seasonal adjustment techniques (X-13, STL, or equivalent) and an honest awareness of when you can't seasonally adjust cleanly
- Operate with incomplete or short time series — knows how to caveat, not just how to model
- Use AI to multiply your impact. You'll use coding agents and automated analysis daily, and help shape what our AI-native analytics stack looks like, contributing to how we move from reactive to proactive to autonomous.
- Comfortable being the quoted expert — whether that's a journalist on deadline, a podcast, or a conference stage
- Prior work at a data PR-forward org (think Ramp, Square, CB Insights, Apartment List, Zillow Economics), who've experienced what a successful data media program actually looks like operationally, or background in family/household economic research

- Exceptional written and communication skills

- Competitive pay and benefits
- Medical, dental, vision, life and disability insurance plans (100% paid for employees)
