<h2 class="h5">Job description</h2> <div class="t-break" data-jb-field="description"> <span>About Lucidya Lucidya is an AI-native platform for customer experience (CX) intelligence that helps organizations understand their customers and take action across the entire customer lifecycle.<br> Our platform brings together products including Social Listening, OmniServe, Survey, and AI Agent, helping enterprise organizations across the region turn customer data into better experiences and measurable business outcomes.<br> As we continue to scale our products, customers, and AI capabilities, the amount of data we generate is growing rapidly.<br> The opportunity is no longer simply to report on what happened - it's to understand why it happened, what it means, and what we should do next.<br> Why this role matters We're looking for a Senior Product Analyst who can help make data a genuine part of how Product operates.<br> This isn't a role where you'll wait for a Product Manager to ask for a dashboard or pull a report after a decision has already been made.<br> You'll be expected to get close to the product, understand how customers actually use it, spot patterns others may have missed, and bring insights to the table before someone asks for them.<br> You'll operate at two levels.<br> At the product and feature level , you'll help teams understand whether customers are discovering, adopting, engaging with, and getting value from what we're building.<br> You'll identify friction, investigate unexpected behaviour, evaluate experiments, and help teams decide what to improve, scale, reposition, or stop.<br> At the leadership level , you'll connect those individual product signals to the bigger picture - helping leadership understand product performance, emerging opportunities, risks, and where we should invest next.<br> The strongest person in this role will be able to move comfortably between a SQL query, a conversation with a Product Manager, and a leadership presentation - and translate the same data into something meaningful for each audience.<br> What You'll Do Turn product data into decisions.<br> You'll go beyond reporting what happened to understand why it happened, what it means, and what Product should do differently as a result.<br> Help teams define what success actually means.<br> You'll work with Product Managers and other stakeholders to establish meaningful KPIs, success metrics, and measurement plans before features and initiatives are launched.<br> Understand how customers use our products.<br> You'll analyse journeys, funnels, cohorts, adoption, engagement, retention, churn, and behavioural patterns to identify where customers are succeeding and where they're getting stuck.<br> Evaluate whether our products are delivering value.<br> You'll assess feature performance and help teams make evidence-based decisions about whether to improve, scale, reposition, or discontinue initiatives.<br> Bring insights into product discovery.<br> You'll use quantitative evidence alongside customer, product, and market context to help teams understand which problems are worth solving and where the biggest opportunities exist.<br> Challenge assumptions with evidence.<br> When a team believes a feature is working, adoption is strong, or customers are behaving a certain way, you'll be comfortable asking, “What does the data actually tell us?<br>” — constructively and without creating friction.<br> Identify opportunities before you're asked.<br> You won't wait for a stakeholder to request a report.<br> You'll proactively investigate anomalies, emerging trends, underperforming areas, and changes in customer behaviour and bring forward the ones that matter.<br> Support experimentation.<br> You'll help teams define hypotheses, success criteria, and measurement approaches, then analyse experiments and A/B tests to determine what the evidence tells us.<br> Make complex analysis easy to understand.<br> You'll turn large datasets and complicated analysis into clear stories, visualisations, recommendations, and decisions that make sense to both technical and non-technical audiences.<br> Give leadership a clear view of product performance.<br> You'll create reporting that connects detailed product and feature performance to broader business objectives, highlighting progress, drivers, risks, and recommended actions rather than simply presenting numbers.<br> Help Product become more self-sufficient with data.<br> You'll build repeatable analytical frameworks, dashboards, documentation, and self-service resources so teams don't need to come to you for every question.<br> Raise data literacy across Product.<br> You'll coach Product Managers on metrics, analysis, and interpretation, and use workshops, office hours, and day-to-day collaboration to make better use of data part of how the team works.<br> Build trust across teams.<br> You'll work closely with Product, Design, Engineering, and business stakeholders and influence decisions without relying on formal authority.<br> What Success Looks Like In your first 3-6 months, you'll be building trust.<br> Product teams know you as someone who understands the product, asks the right questions, and brings useful insights rather than simply producing reports.<br> As you establish yourself, you'll start changing how decisions are made.<br> Product Managers are defining meaningful success metrics earlier, teams are using evidence to evaluate their decisions, and you're proactively surfacing opportunities and risks rather than responding to reporting requests.<br> Ultimately, success means Product becomes more intelligent.<br> Leadership has a clear view of what's driving product performance, teams understand why customers behave the way they do, and decisions about priorities and investment are increasingly based on evidence rather than assumptions.<br> The shift we're looking for is simple: From “What happened?<br>” → “Why did it happen?<br>” → “What should we do about it?<br>" Who You Are You're naturally curious.<br> When you see an unexpected number, you don't just add it to a report — you want to know what's behind it.<br> You think commercially, not just analytically.<br> You understand that an interesting insight isn't necessarily a useful one.<br> You can connect product behaviour to customer value, business performance, and investment decisions.<br> You don't need to be given the question.<br> You're comfortable starting with an ambiguous problem, figuring out what needs to be understood, and determining what analysis will actually help answer it.<br> You can zoom in and out.<br> You can spend time investigating why a particular feature's adoption dropped while still understanding how that finding connects to the wider product strategy.<br> You're willing to challenge people.<br> You don't simply validate what a stakeholder already believes.<br> You're comfortable presenting evidence that contradicts an assumption, while doing so in a way that builds trust rather than defensiveness.<br> You know that being right isn't enough.<br> Your analysis only creates value if people understand it and act on it.<br> You can turn complex findings into a simple story and a clear recommendation.<br> You're a strong communicator.<br> You can explain an analytical finding to a Product Manager, work through the technical detail with an Engineer, and present the business implication to leadership.<br> You're proactive and self-directed.<br> You don't wait for a ticket to appear in your queue.<br> You notice something worth investigating and take ownership of finding out what it means.<br> You're comfortable with ambiguity and a changing environment.<br> Not every question will have a clean dataset or obvious answer.<br> You know how to work with imperfect information while being transparent about its limitations.<br> You have 4+ years of experience in product analytics, digital analytics, business intelligence, or a closely related field, with experience working directly with digital Product teams.<br> You're technically strong.<br> You can independently use SQL to explore and analyse large datasets and are comfortable working with product analytics or business intelligence platforms such as Mixpanel, Heap, Pendo, Metabase, Amplitude, Looker, Tableau, Power BI, or similar tools.<br> You understand product metrics deeply , including funnels, journeys, cohorts, retention, engagement, adoption, churn, and customer behaviour.<br> You can translate ambiguous business questions into structured analysis and understand the difference between finding a correlation and understanding what it actually means.<br> You're comfortable working remotely and can communicate effectively across teams without relying on being in the same room.<br> You have professional working proficiency in English.<br> Nice to Have Experience designing or evaluating A/B tests and experiments.<br> Experience with statistical analysis.<br> Familiarity with modern data stacks, data warehouses, transformation tools, event tracking, analytics instrumentation, or data governance.<br> Experience building or improving a product analytics function or data culture.<br> Experience presenting product recommendations to senior

The Regional Office for West Asia delivers advisory services and capacity building support to countries to achieve environmental and sustainable development objectives. The UNEP Regional Office for West Asia (ROWA) provides technical cooperation and policy advice to countries in the region to help achieve their environmental goals and sustainable development priorities. Plastic pollution has emerged as one of the most pressing environmental challenges worldwide, posing significant risks to ecosystems, biodiversity, human health, and sustainable development. Single-use plastics (SUPs), including plastic bags, food packaging, disposable cutlery, straws, and beverage containers, represent a substantial share of plastic waste due to their short lifespan and limited recovery after use. The Kingdom of Bahrain has demonstrated a strong commitment to addressing plastic pollution through a range of regulatory and policy measures. Recent initiatives include restrictions on non-biodegradable plastic bags, limitations on small plastic beverage containers, and broader efforts to promote sustainable waste management and environmental protection. Nevertheless, SUPs continue to constitute a significant source of plastic pollution, particularly in terrestrial and marine environments. Recognizing the need to strengthen existing policy measures, the Supreme Council for Environment (SCE), in collaboration with UNEP ROWA, is undertaking a comprehensive assessment of Bahrain's policy and regulatory framework governing single-use plastics. The assessment will identify strengths, gaps, implementation challenges, and opportunities for improvement while drawing upon international good practices and lessons learned from the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), Arab region, and other jurisdictions. The assignment will culminate in the development of evidence-based policy recommendations and an implementation roadmap to reinforce Bahrain's transition towards a circular economy for plastics. UNEP seeks to recruit an International Expert on Plastic Pollution and Circular Economy to provide technical, analytical, drafting, and advisory provision for the assessment of Bahrain's policy and regulatory framework on single-use plastics, the review of international best practices, stakeholder consultations, and the development of evidence-based policy recommendations and an implementation roadmap, in close coordination with the SCE and under UNEP ROWA supervision. The objective of this assignment is to contribute to the work of UNEP ROWA in reviewing the current status of single-use plastics in Bahrain, assessing the effectiveness of the existing policy and regulatory framework, identifying policy and implementation gaps, benchmarking international and regional good practices, and developing a practical policy framework and implementation roadmap to reduce single-use plastics and advance Bahrain's transition towards a circular economy for plastics. The expert will provide technical, analytical, drafting, and advisory maintenance throughout the assignment. Duties and responsibilties: Under the direct supervision of the designated Programme Management Officer at UNEP ROWA, the selected consultant will carry-out, inter alia, the following duties and responsibilities for each of the four projects detailed previously: 2.a. Project Inception and Planning •Prepare an inception report outlining the proposed methodology, workplan, stakeholder engagement approach, data requirements, and timeline for the assignment. •Review all relevant background documents, policies, legislation, reports, and technical materials provided by UNEP and the SCE. •Identify additional information and data requirements necessary to successfully implement the assignment. 2.b. Assessment of the Current Situation •Conduct a comprehensive review of the current status of single-use plastics (SUPs) in Bahrain using available national and international literature, reports, statistics, and other relevant secondary data. •Assess trends in the production, import, consumption, waste generation, collection, recycling, treatment, disposal, and environmental impacts of SUPs, where data are available. •Identify the principal categories of SUP products contributing to plastic pollution and assess existing waste management practices and infrastructure relevant to their management. 2.c.
