THE POSITION

You absolutely love data (unstructured and structured), testing hypotheses, and arriving at data-driven recommendations that have an immediate impact on the business. You are passionate about communicating insights as much as you are about discovering them in the first place. You constantly ask questions about how to use analytics to improve the business. Is there a better way to identify responsive customers? Who is the best lending partner we should match to a customer? Are there new data sources out there that would help us make better decisions?

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Drive analytic insights and provide recommendations to support development of the strategy, administration, optimization, budget and P&L of your business vertical.
• Daily management of performance, including lead volumes, revenue, margins, and related performance metrics, to ensure accomplishment of performance goals.

• Collaborate closely with Marketing, Sales and Product teams to strategically grow your business vertical through actionable analysis.
• Become proficient with in-house analytics tools to track and understand full-funnel performance.

QUALIFICATIONS

• Outstanding analytical problem-solving skills. You know how to rip apart difficult problems and construct elegant solutions.
• Strategic mindset: you can focus an organization on key business levers without getting lost in daily details. You see both the forest and the trees.
• Pragmatic: you understand the 80/20 rule and know when deep analysis is required versus when simpler solutions suffice. Your recommendations are clear and implementable.
• Outstanding communication and interpersonal skills.
• Proactive mindset: you regularly check in with your manager but can run independently with a ton of autonomy.
• Collaborative and team-oriented. People like working with you.

SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE

• Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering, Statistics, Business, or similar quantitative field.
• 3+ years of analytics experience, performing data-driven analysis and delivering actionable insights.

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS

• Desire to roll up your sleeves and dive deeply into analytical work.
• Comfort and ability in effectively communicating with C-level executives.

Now, we help consumers find their best in personal loans, auto loans, business loans, student loans, credit cards, savings accounts, home equity loans and more.

• We’re a publicly-traded company (TREE).
