About Us
Universe opens up the possibilities of the internet to everyone. A magical grid that distills the web into simple Lego-like building blocks. With our app, anyone on earth can build a custom website or online store in seconds—without code, all from a phone.
Our business and team have grown a lot in the past year, and we are looking for someone to spearhead all things analytics at Universe. This is a role for someone who wants to help the entire team answer our most important questions about how people use our product and how our business is growing.
The Role
We are looking for an experienced analyst to join our team and help us use data to drive business and product decisions on an ongoing basis. This person should be a detail-oriented analytical professional who takes pride in seeing the "big picture" and not just the details, and is ready to do high-leverage work right away while laying the foundation for future team growth.
You will be the first analyst on the team, you will work directly with the most senior leaders of the company, and your work will have outsized impact long into the future.
This role will report to the Strategy & Operations Lead (Head of Growth) and you will work very closely with the growth, product and marketing teams.
Responsibilities
- Define and perform ongoing analysis that helps the entire company confidently answer questions like "what do our successful and less-successful users do once they discover us?" or "how have our product changes affected the value of our business?" You will be the proactive leader who pushes us to find the answer(s) to these questions as they change over time
- Work with the product (design and engineering) team to define the right metrics to judge the success of / gaps in our product
- Work with the growth team to design, implement and analyze experiments that will inform product development through iterative improvement and accurate measurement
- Work with the marketing team to understand the impact of their work across the entire user journey
- Set the analytical foundation for the entire company: set a high bar for ad hoc business analysis, create automated dashboards and self-serve reporting tools as needed to ensure everyone at Universe has access to the right data about product behavior, revenue and other business metrics
- Be a storytelling partner to the leadership team: institute regular reporting on patterns and trends that the CEO (and rest of the company) can rely on to tell a compelling, accurate story to the team, investors, the press, and the rest of the world
Qualifications
- No need to have everything on this list, but we are looking for someone who has at least some of the following attributes:
- 3+ years of analytics / data science experience in a product-relevant environment (your title may not have been "analyst", but you have worked with product managers, engineers, or other product stakeholders)
- SQL familiarity (nice to have: a well-informed point of view on when to use other tools or languages such as R, Python, etc)
- Experience with tools like Tableau, Segment, Amplitude, Mode Analytics, etc
- Excellent data visualization skills. You are the kind of person who cares about the readability, consistency, and overall utility of the charts and graphs you create
- Great communication skills beyond your charts! You are someone who takes pride in looking at a hundred details, but synthesizing a conclusion or recommendation into just a few sentences
- Willingness to be scrappy - to do whatever it takes to gather data and push growth forward in an early-stage environment
- Nice to have: prior experience with consumer-facing apps. Must have: lots of enthusiasm for the specific opportunity we're tackling at Universe!
