Job description

About the Role

We are looking for a founding data analytics scientist who can help take us to the next level of being a data-driven company. We want to hire someone who has a deep understanding of how to build an analytics function to inform and guide business decisions and priorities. Someone who has a strong passion for using the collective knowledge that we have as a company to make sure that we’re making the best choices that we can to set ourselves up for success.

This is where you come in

We’re a small team with a big mission. We move fast, solve hard problems, and take pride in building things the right way. The truth is: this is a demanding job. It requires focus, urgency, and often, time outside of traditional hours.

If you’re looking for a predictable 40-hour workweek, this isn’t the right fit. But if you want to grow quickly, take real ownership, and see the direct impact of your work every day—you’ll find that the challenge is well worth it. We’re all here for the same reason: to build something meaningful and lasting.

How you'll spend your time at Berry Street:

• Collaborating with leaders across the organization to correctly frame and evaluate decisions in a data-driven manner, i.e. leveraging our existing data to best target and deploy our marketing spend to acquire ideal customers

• Managing the development and maintenance of our data product (dashboards/reports/analyses/etc) and, as much as possible, democratizing access to that data product across the organization

• Strongly contributing to the development of our data product

• Ensuring, in collaboration with other teams, the quality and accuracy of our data and analytics

• Partnering, and leading your team to partner with cross functional stakeholders to identify data analytics needs for new initiatives and working with, and leading work with our technical teams to translate those to into technical project requirements

• Driving stronger adoption of analytics-based decision making at all levels of the organization, i.e. leveraging data to determine prioritization of new feature development

• Building data pipelines and transforms to power analytics and dashboarding

NOTE: This is an IC role – you will be hands-on keys to key things going.

You will love this role if:

• You have a passion for data. Data is your second language, and you are excited to translate complex data into clear and actionable insights.

• You are a strategic thinker. You enjoy seeing the bigger picture and are able to align data initiatives with business goals.

• You are a natural communicator. You can convey data-driven insights to non-technical stakeholders while fostering collaboration across teams.

• You thrive on solving complex problems. You enjoy diving deep into data to identify patterns, uncover hidden opportunities, and drive innovation within the organization.

• You have a player-coach mentality. While we've set up a solid foundation, you'll be the first official data hire. You're excited to get your hands dirty. This is an IC role – you will be hands-on keys to key things going.
