What You Will Bring
- Excellent, demonstrable mathematical and problem-solving skills. You’ll be the analytical center of our commercial operations, and we’ll rely on you to not only structure our data to derive strategic insights but also identify operational process improvements to support our rapid scale. As such, you should have a demonstrated ability to structure complex problems and conduct data-driven analyses. A quantitative master’s degree (e.g. Econometrics, Mathematics, Data Science), demonstrable analytical skills (e.g. Python, SQL, Excel), and familiarity with BI tools (e.g. PowerBI, Tableau) would all be considered a plus.
- Strong communication. You will not only lead the analyses of our commercial data, but also derive recommendations to inform key business decisions. You should be able to understand the implications of data analyses and build stories from our data targeted at different audiences. As our company culture is built around freedom and teamwork, we’re looking for someone with a highly collaborative style and who is a team player at heart.
- A results-driven, iterative working style. You should be able to hypothesize, gather evidence, deliver first solutions, perform testing with multiple stakeholders, and recommend improvements before expanding to all-encompassing solutions - all in short sprints of high-quality deliverables.
- A hands-on, proactive, nothing-is-impossible attitude. You bring the courage to challenge yourself and high motivation, and we provide the opportunity to lead critical analysis and implementation projects that deliver strategic impact. As a rapidly-scaling organization, we offer you responsibility from day one and a large runway for professional growth.
