We are looking for a Senior Data Analyst to join our growing team! You will play a leading role building out our operational and business-critical performance monitoring and analytics across all aspects of the company, from sales to finance to operations to product and growth. In addition, you'll launch and support a variety of internal and external projects, and be involved in the continued development of our in-platform analytics tools and functionality. You are...

• A "numbers person"; you love data, and have a passion for turning that data into actionable insights for your team and business partners. When you hear "KPI" your ears perk up and you start envisioning all the data you'll wrangle to help the team understand the progress they're making toward their goals.
• Intentionally or not, you always seem to become the go-to person on the team when someone has a sticky data situation or needs guidance on the best visualization for illustrating a point. You might have strong opinions on the use of pie charts.
• Able to listen beyond what someone is asking for to what they actually NEED and what problems they are looking to solve, rather than just taking orders. You want to understand the "why" of a report before you build it.
• A self-starter in approaching problem-solving; you're tenacious and like to figure out the "how" on your own once you understand the "what" and "why" behind a challenge.
• Excited about technology and how the digital ecosystem is evolving; you're even more excited about how tools can help people be more effective and efficient.
• A team player - you love to pitch in and collaborate with team members at all levels of an organization, and don't view many tasks as "someone else's job".
• Able to compromise when it makes sense, but you have strength in your convictions -- backed up by data, of course.
• Enthusiastic about driving outcomes and take pride in supporting other teams in achieving their goals. In this role, you will...
  • Build useful and actionable dashboards and monthly reports to help executives and directors manage their business and team performance. You'll be a key part of how we meet and exceed our internal and external KPIs.
  • Support projects with teams across the company; from sales to marketing to product to vendor ops, you'll know the value drivers for the business and help each team to monitor, understand, and continuously improve their performance
  • Manage assigned small- and large-scale projects from inception to completion.
  • Help us to define, maintain, and optimize our internal and external analytics and reporting. We want to get better each day and look forward to learning from you on ways to do that! Key Qualifications
    • Bachelor's Degree or equivalent work experience
    • At least 2 years of data analysis experience
    • Experience with one or more data analysis tools / analytics suites (e.g. Tableau, SQL, OracleBI, SAS, Domo, Google Data Studio, advanced Excel, Looker, R, Pandas, etc.)
    • Bonus points for experience reviewing, cleaning, and pre-processing data or partnering with Data Science counterparts for further analysis.
    • Passion for startup environments and excitement about taking on challenges (on occasion) which fall outside the description here. We're growing rapidly and want you to grow with us!
    • Strong verbal and written communication skills. You love helping other people understand not just the outputs and insights, but the background behind any analysis you produce.
    • Comfort with and excitement about working with a distributed team. While this role will primarily interface with our team headquartered in Boston, we are all working remote for now; in the future, we anticipate flexibility to work from home/remotely when you need it. Headquartered in Boston, and backed by a $30M Series B co-led by GGV Capital and Insight Partners, we are looking for exceptional candidates who want to help grow our company into a global enterprise and make their mark on the B2B tech industry. Come soar to new heights with us!
