At Waggel, we’re all about making pet ownership easier, more affordable, and ultimately more rewarding for our members. Our purpose is helping every pet live a longer, happier, healthier life.

- Turn complex data into actionable insights for stakeholders
- Partner with teams across the business (marketing, pricing, operations) to support strategic decisions
- Challenge existing assumptions, processes, and metrics where appropriate
- Support scenario analysis and stress testing to guide decision-making
- Identify opportunities for efficiency and growth through data analysis
