Analyst

Want to have fun and have a meaningful role in supporting a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment?

Eager to join a team of high-performing, yet humble people that simply get things done and that create a leading skin care line?

If so, and you’re a super “data nerd” who absolutely loves doing math, analyzing reports, generating KPIs, and performing strategic data analysis to uncover actionable insights, please read on.

JOB DESCRIPTION:

• Support the Functional Groups with Analyses and Insights – As a rapidly-growing company, we know that we have stones unturned to identify key gaps and opportunities. We are an inherently data-driven organization, and so armed with actionable insights, we move very quickly in affecting change that improves our bottom-line. This role will provide crucial support in making sure we are using our information to make better business decisions.
• Track Metrics Driven by Our Customer Lifetime Value Models – We optimize our business at all levels, whether revenues or costs. And by tracking revenue metrics like conversion, customer value, or refunds, or those on the cost side, such as product costs, shipping, and customer service, we endeavor to be as optimized as possible. Again, this role will help us to ensure we understand our baseline metrics as well as when and why key metrics change.
• Manage Reports Tracking the Company’s Key Performance Indicators – Unlike many other companies our size, our ability to manage and access data is excellent. While there will no doubt be instances where you’ll be extracting and manipulating information, our Company has been built for scale. But we need someone to help us organize reports, both to analyze themselves and so that the business’ leaders can easily digest the information.
• Analyze the Business Impact of Tests – In optimizing our business, we are constantly in test mode and need to make sure we are tracking and evaluating the success or failure of those tests. The person in this role will not only gather test results but will be responsible for summarizing the results for others to understand as well.
• Develop Ad-Hoc Analyses – Our business, and certainly the world we live in, is in a constant state of change. That’s what makes what we do so interesting. As such, there will be times where we don’t know exactly what we are looking for, but know an area requires investigation. In these times, being able to think out of the box, take minimal direction, or not need to be told to investigate something that stand out are key to excelling in this position.

REQUIREMENTS:

We're looking for a talented, detail-oriented, fast-learning data analyst / business intelligence analyst to create reports, conduct analyses, and create models to help manage and support the day-to-day decisions of the company.

The ideal candidate is not simply a “number cruncher”; rather, one who both wants to gain operational exposure and can think strategically beyond the basic work that needs to get done.

IMPORTANT: not only do you need to be able to create and analyze reports, you need to be able to synthesize that information, process it strategically based on the vision, mission, goals and priorities of the business and make clear, concise, actionable recommendations to management.

The analyst will be responsible for gathering key data and developing analyses to help drive key strategic actions. This individual will work closely with the major functional groups, including marketing, operations, and finance.

You will excel in this job if you:

• Like new challenges and making sense of the seemingly complex
• Think finding $0.23 in savings or revenue opportunities is fun when you replicate that across thousands of units
• Want to improve yourself and your company every day
• Able to communicate complexity in simple terms

What the Ideal Candidate Looks Like:

• At least 5-7 years’ experience in data analysis, preferably with heavy exposure to finance, data analytics or other similar type of quantitative analysis
• A strong desire to learn, the need to push through when something doesn’t make sense, and an inherent sense of curiosity that manifests itself with you being naturally proactive, constantly peeling the onion until satisfied.
• Hands on experience working with large data sets, including statistical analyses, data visualization, data mining, and data cleansing / transformation
• A strong proficiency with math and Excel, and while Access and SQL may not be crucial to this role day-to-day, we know that having an understanding of those platforms can be a strong plus for people to excel in this role.
• While not required, experience with any business intelligence platforms such as Tableau, Sisense, Domo, Cognos, Power BI, etc. is a plus.
• We work in a fast-paced environment that requires someone pick up things EXTREMELY fast, yet also have METICULOUS attention to detail to ensure i's are dotted and t's crossed. To that end, you must be a fast information processor with ability to cycle through issues quickly.
• You must be able to easily present and communicate sophisticated concepts in a simple way for management, with top-notch organizational and project management skills who is used to self-motivating as part of a remote team.
