About the Role

We are looking for an enthusiastic and forward-thinking Product Data Analyst to join the Data & Insight (D&I) Team at Bark.

You will also work closely with the broader D&I team, developing a wide understanding of all facets of the business. This could involve showcasing results from experiments, providing actionable recommendations to cross-functional teams, and identifying opportunities for improvement across different areas. Each quarter you will also work on one or more initiatives with your teammates to develop novel analytical capabilities and techniques for use within the business, focusing on advanced techniques or emergent technologies such as LLMs and AI.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including Product Managers, Engineering, and D&I colleagues to identify priorities, coordinate timelines, track progress, and share results.
• Develop and maintain dashboards and reports that highlight key metrics and experimental outcomes.
• Translate complex data findings into clear, actionable insights for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Proactively seek opportunities to improve processes and increase efficiency within the product development and analytics lifecycles.

Required Skills and Experience

• Familiarity with Google BigQuery or another large-scale data warehouse solution.
• Experience using Tableau (or similar) to create and manage data sources, and present complex insights clearly.
• Highly competent in Python for data analysis tasks.
• Deep understanding of statistical concepts and tests, with the ability to discern appropriate application.
• Significant experience in designing and rigorously analyzing experiments (e.g., A/B tests) using statistical methods.
• Ability to clearly communicate technical findings and recommendations to different audiences.
• Comfortable managing multiple projects in a high-performance environment.
• Ability to work under pressure, adapt to shifting priorities, and maintain high attention to detail.
• Strong collaboration skills and the ability to build effective cross-functional relationships.
• Eagerness to learn and continually develop new skills.
• Experience working in a fast-paced environment and delivering high-quality outputs under tight timelines.
