  Could be anything from creating and interpreting basic Google Analytics reports to advising or implementing A/B tests to tracking largely business KPIs to classifying data for AI/ML pipelines to actually training AI/ML models and data science.

  Other comments have included ML in their descriptions and I don’t agree. Both analytics and ML can fall under data science but there is a clear line between the two.
