About the Role & Team

We’re looking for an intellectually curious, business-savvy, analytical powerhouse to join the Data Science & Analytics team as an Advanced Analytics Analyst.

Work with cross-functional stakeholders to define and script analytics needs, scope projects, and build/create new analytics capabilities using SQL, R, Tableau, and/or other visualization tools for the purpose of driving business-critical decisions and optimizations. Create automated tools that enable the team to analyze and review results from controlled experiments (A/B tests), test hypotheses, calculate statistical significance, improve targeting best practices, and optimize segmentation.
Use SQL and other statistical analysis tools (e.g. Python or R) to analyze big data sets representing millions of users to understand user behavior and identify key characteristics that inform the creation of new audience segments and expand the reach of our advertising within and across platforms.
Balance business timelines with scientific rigor in statistical analysis to improve business decision making and priorities for the team roadmap.
Build reporting tools and data pipelines using SQL, Python, and other internal tools to enable self-service for sales teams. Communicate the results of analyses with business-stakeholders.
