About the Data Analytics Team

Thumbtack’s GTM/Ops Analytics team is charged with providing actionable insights for Thumbtack’s Go-to-Market and Ops teams within the COO org (which include Sales & Success, Customer Support, Experience Operations, and Marketplace Trust & Safety). We collaborate with various groups across the company on a wide variety of projects; everything from click-level data from our online HelpCenter, to call-level data from our outbound sales teams, to search- and transaction-level data between pros and customers from our product database. The Ops Analytics team is part of a global analytics team of more than 40 analysts.

About the Role

As a Senior Data Analyst on the Experience Operations team, you'll empower various business leaders with the data insights they need to make decisions.  You’ll work as a cross-functional partner with these business leaders to craft strategy in the lanes of Customer Experience Operations, Product Operations, Refund Operations and Customer and Pro Education.   You’ll also work with engineering and product teams to transition v1 operational processes into integrated/automated product features, always with an emphasis on improving the pro and customer experience on our platform.  

Experience Ops Analysts have the opportunity to work on company-wide efforts where product and operations overlap, such as pro/customer retention through recovery campaigns, monetization and refund policies of new product experiences, customer conversion through our in-product, project request flows, and NLP categorization of our pro and customer free-form feedback.
