What does this team do?
On the Business Intelligence team, we strive to democratize data and deliver analytics that enable our business leaders to achieve our purpose. We seek a strategic thinker with a keen ability to understand business, product, and marketing strategy as well as provide consultative marketing analysis. You'll work with our Motley team of business analysts, data scientists, marketers, and product managers to bring new insights. Your technical aptitude in analytics and data science will be key to creating insightful and effective insights, analysis, and reporting.
You might be a good fit if you:

Our ability to deliver actionable and useful insights for the organization requires that we understand the business, that we are interested in learning about our customers, and stay curious enough to uncover the stories buried in the data. We're looking for someone with a proven ability to craft concise, actionable analyses and reports that tell a story about a business area, marketing campaign, or customer segment.

We help teams across the company do their jobs better by identifying opportunities and informing data-driven decisions.
