The Data & Systems team is responsible for driving rapid customer growth through innovative analytics strategies and intelligent marketing automation.

We collaborate closely with leadership, cross-functional teams, and partners to achieve ambitious growth targets while building sustainable competitive advantages through data.
 

This role is ideal for someone 1-3 years into their career who thrives on detective work—figuring out why conversion rates dropped 2% yesterday or which creative variant drives the best CAC (and, more importantly, why?). You'll be the person everyone comes to for quick analyses, campaign reports, and performance insights. Ideally, you’ll be the person who goes to everyone else to share what you learned before they need to ask.

What You Will Do:

Execute daily marketing analytics:

• Pull daily/weekly performance reports for channel owners across all paid media
• Build and maintain Tableau dashboards for campaign performance tracking
• Conduct post-campaign analyses determining what worked and what didn't
• Create competitive benchmarking reports on ad creative and landing pages
• Support budget pacing and forecasting with weekly spend projections
• Generate executive reporting decks with performance summaries

Support testing and optimization:

• Analyze A/B test results for statistical significance and lift calculations
• Track creative performance across 100+ variants monthly
• Build testing calendars and document results for knowledge sharing
• Identify quick-win optimization opportunities from data patterns
• Support landing page conversion analysis and recommendations
• Create audience performance reports by segment and channel

Maintain marketing data infrastructure:

• Ensure data quality across advertising platforms and internal systems
• Build automated reporting using APIs and basic Python scripts
• Document data definitions and maintain metrics glossary
• Support tagging implementation for new campaigns and channels
• Troubleshoot discrepancies between platforms and internal reporting
• Create data validation checks for campaign tracking

Enable cross-functional teams:

• Provide ad-hoc analyses for marketing team questions (usually same-day)
• Create performance one-pagers for new channel launches
• Support creative team with performance feedback on designs
• Build basic attribution reports showing channel interaction
• Generate lists and audiences for campaign targeting
• Document insights and best practices from analyses

Learn and grow:

• Shadow senior analysts on complex attribution projects
• Develop SQL skills through real campaign analysis needs
• Learn marketing platforms (Google Ads, Meta, etc.) through reporting
• Build understanding of financial services marketing requirements
• Gain exposure to executive reporting and stakeholder management

What We're Looking For:

• 1-3 years in an analyst role (marketing, business analyst)
• Strong Excel skills and SQL fundamentals
• Obsession with understanding the business/project at hand.
• Success in the role will require deeply wanting to understand what’s going well and why – and, on the flip side, what’s gone off-track and needs resolution.
• Experience with visualization tools
• Strong communication skills for presenting findings clearly

What this role is NOT:

• This is not a data science role requiring advanced ML/AI modeling
• You won't be building predictive models or complex algorithms
• This is not a strategic role defining marketing analytics vision
• You won't be leading cross-functional initiatives or managing vendors
• This is not a senior role requiring 7+ years of experience

Growth trajectory:

A person who is successful in this role will rapidly assume increasing ownership with other aspects of the product & marketing businesses. You'll gain hands-on experience with every aspect of performance marketing while building the analytical foundation for a career in growth.
