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 lender we should match to a customer? Are there new data sources out there that would help us make better decisions?

The goal will be to identify meaningful solutions. You will accomplish this via manipulation of large datasets, identification of key variables and development of a narrative.
