A Beijing-headquartered Chinese internet company (1,000–4,999 employees) is aggressively expanding its international e-commerce operations across Europe and Latin America. Already a dominant force in domestic markets, the company is now building the data infrastructure that will power its global growth — and it needs exceptional analytical talent to make that happen.

This is one of the most consequential expansions happening in global e-commerce right now.

The Role

You will be embedded in a local market team — London, São Paulo, or Mexico City — as a senior individual contributor on the international data analytics team. Your work will sit at the intersection of business strategy and data engineering: you will not just report numbers, you will define what numbers matter and why.

From designing KPI frameworks to tracking merchant ecosystems, from cold-start growth analytics to content community performance, you will be the analytical backbone of a market that is scaling fast and needs rigorous intelligence to guide every decision.

This role is conducted entirely in Chinese and English. Both languages are working languages. Candidates who are not fluent in both will not be considered.

What You Will Do

Data Framework and KPI Design

• Translate complex e-commerce business logic into structured, actionable KPI systems and analytical frameworks

• Design and maintain end-to-end data pipelines that track platform health across merchant, product, and content dimensions

• Build and own dashboards using at least one professional visualization tool (Tableau, Power BI, Superset, or equivalent)

Business Monitoring and Insight Generation

• Monitor ongoing business performance across your assigned market, surfacing anomalies and opportunities in real time

• Produce regular analytical reports for local and HQ leadership, combining quantitative rigor with clear business narrative

• Support cold-start and growth strategy initiatives with data-driven recommendations and tracking mechanisms

Ecosystem Analytics

• Track and analyze merchant ecosystem health, product performance trends, and content community engagement metrics

• Identify levers for growth and retention within the local market and benchmark against global platform patterns

Cross-functional Collaboration

• Work closely with local market teams, product teams, and HQ data teams to align analytical priorities with business goals

• Coordinate across time zones between your local market and Beijing headquarters

• What You Bring

Experience

• 8+ years of e-commerce platform data analysis experience

• Currently employed at a top-tier Chinese internet company — this is a mandatory requirement, not just preferred past experience. Target employers include: Alibaba (International), ByteDance/TikTok, Xiaohongshu, Kuaishou, Meituan, JD.com, Tencent, Baidu

• Experience with content community platforms (Xiaohongshu, Kuaishou, Douyin, TikTok) is a strong advantage

• Experience supporting international e-commerce expansion is a significant plus

Technical Skills

• Proficient in Excel and SQL

• Strong working knowledge of Hive for large-scale data querying

• Skilled in at least one data visualization tool

Languages

• Fluent Chinese (Mandarin) — required

• Fluent English — required

• Portuguese or Spanish is a meaningful advantage for São Paulo and Mexico City placements

Profile

• Chinese citizen

• Exceptional logical thinker who bridges the gap between raw data and business clarity

• Highly self-motivated with a strong sense of accountability and ownership

• Collaborative team player with solid organizational and coordination skills

• Comfortable and willing to relocate internationally to the UK, Brazil, or Mexico

Career Perspective

This is a senior IC role with real strategic visibility. As the company's international operations scale across multiple regions, high performers will have a clear path into data team lead positions with broader regional scope. You will be joining at the growth phase — when your impact is most visible and your influence on the data culture is most lasting.
