Measure the incremental value of various hardware, accessories, product, and content features (including some still in concept stage) and use this to inform future investments, product decisions, and our Northstar goals.
Quantify the key long-term drivers of device growth and identify opportunities to optimize our acquisition strategy and bend the curve.
Develop novel methodologies to understand and estimate Oculus device demand.
Collaborate and communicate with key stakeholders across product, engineering, finance and business leadership to deliver recommendations, insights, and new ideas.
Define problems and opportunities in a highly complex and ambiguous area, often for future products that are still in development.
Grow, guide and inspire a strong DS team, with a high-impact and ambitious technical roadmap.
Autonomous responsibility for a large scope of influence.
Additional Requirements（额外要求）
Ph.D. in Economics or a related field.
