Business Analyst, Growth
Do you want to learn from a global audience of 200M and put those insights to work? Does the idea of using data to solve business problems and drive growth excite you? Do you often look at products and experiences from an analytical perspective, considering how data could inform you of their strengths and weaknesses? Do you love rolling up your sleeves and using a range of tools and data sources to answer questions? If so, this role is for you.
We are looking for a talented analyst to join the data science team focused on growth. The team uses data-driven methods to power decisions, inform strategy, build robust data products, and find opportunities for growth. We are true hybrids - analysts, statisticians, domain experts and software engineers - who specialize in translating questions into methodical approaches, experiments, and products. We think deeply about the limitations of data, and communicate our output coherently. Most importantly, we are results focused.
You will be responsible for:
- Designing and implementing reports that track key business metrics and deliver actionable insights to internal stakeholders and partners.
- Answering questions by using appropriate statistical techniques on available data.
- Communicating findings to other analysts, data scientists, engineers, and leaders across the company in a clear, precise and accessible way.
- Advising employees from other groups who are working on problems involving data.
- Collecting and interpreting data that allow for rapid product and content experimentation.
- Defining critical metrics and measures of success in a complex, cross-platform, multi-destination ecosystem.
- Empathizing with a global audience of 200M+ to identify meaningful trends that can be used to inform personalized experiences.
About you:
- You want to work for a company that believes in smart experimentation, agility, mutual respect and having fun.
- You have an insatiable passion for solving analytical problems of all types using quantitative approaches.
- You are comfortable retrieving, manipulating and analyzing large data sets from varying sources (APIs, SQL databases and, of course, spreadsheets).
- You are able to balance a fast-paced working environment with the need for precision
- You can work both independently and cross-functionally within a team
- You can employ a range of analytical tools to get the job done (Python, R, MATLAB, Excel, etc.)
Pluses
- Familiarity with BigQuery/Google Cloud Platform
- Experience with BI tools like Looker, Mode or Tableau
- Experience with social media data/APIs (Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, etc.)
- SEO experience
- An interest in machine learning concepts
- Familiarity with the inner workings of news, content or native advertising organization
