Requirements

Work within a centralized Data Team (Engineers and Analysts) to support our Product Team
Design, conduct, and report on experiments to verify/nullify the Product Team's hypotheses
Champion analytically backed recommendations to uncover high value opportunities
Own ETL, data validations, and documentation to support your and others' analyses

Support demand forecasting by assessing and updating models as the business evolves
Mentor more junior teammates to be more effective (presentation skills, technical skills, etc.)
Partner with Data Engineers to identify and scope integrations of new value-add datasets
We're not big on buzzwords like “rockstar”. So here's what we're actually looking for:
You're humble, accountable, and intelligent. You value those things in that order
You're highly analytical. You have a strong foundation in statistics, experiment design, and analytical methods. You dig beyond surface-level answers and get to the “why” rather than stopping at the “what”
You're an excellent communicator. You effectively communicate priorities, blockers, and results. You can identify ambiguities and work collaboratively with less technical folks to achieve clarity.. You cater your messaging to your audience and are comfortable presenting findings, whether to a fellow Analyst or the CEO
You're technologically savvy. You will be trusted to independently make and justify tradeoffs between technical implementations depending on the scope, impact, and urgency of the problem
You're results oriented. You're comfortable making deliberate tradeoffs between “the best way” and “the most useful quick way” of achieving results. Nobody checks (or cares) what hours you work - we care that the work gets done and that you feel happy and supported doing it
Native fluency in SQL, Looker, and Python/R
Proficiency in dbt
Extensive experience applying statistical/econometric models to solve business problems
Expertise designing and implementing intuitive ETL to underlie your analyses and predictions
Experience A/B testing at enterprise scale
Experience using version-control to develop and update code (git, bitbucket, etc.)
Begrudging proficiency in MS Excel (rare, but sometimes necessary #StartupLife)
