Job Description & Responsibilities
This is a hybrid position that has the minimum expectation to work out of our Downtown Seattle Office one day per week on Thursdays.
Who we're looking for:
We are specifically looking for a Business Analyst III to partner closely with Rover’s Trust and Safety Sr. Leadership to help make Rover a safer community for pet parents and sitters. This will be a high visibility role, partnering directly with a diverse set of stakeholders to determine how to measure and improve T&S program success. Additionally this role will own analytics support and strategy for Rover’s account safety / fraud mitigation program. This role will require a unique skillset - the ideal candidate should be very comfortable turning ambiguous business problems into crisp requirements, and in turn using those to build creative data products meeting a niche business need. The ideal candidate should be a builder - someone who is eager to start from nothing and build an excellent analytics support program for an underserved but extremely important part of the business.
Your Responsibilities:
- Partner with Trust and Safety leadership to determine our strategy for measuring program health and performance, defining comprehensive metrics, developing crisp reporting and standing up monitoring rhythms.
- Collaborate with Account Safety leadership to measure program performance and proactively identify and mitigate fraud trends on Rover’s platform.
- Serve as strategic partner and advisor to business leaders, responsible for making recommendations on investments and optimization strategies in Trust and Safety
- Support the construction of our reporting abstractions (built in dbt)
Requirements
Your Qualifications:
- At least 4 years experience working cross-functionally with complex datasets to support organizational decision making.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills. Specifically, you know how to narrate analysis and results to business partners in a useful, concise, and meaningful way.
- You are extremely comfortable with taking ambiguous issues and structuring them into crisp business problems, and using those to develop and execute on a refined project plan with clearly identified deliverables, all with relative autonomy.
- Strong proficiency with SQL. You would feel confident reviewing code produced by other analysts and data scientists
- You have hands-on experience building out data abstractions using tools such as DBT or Airflow as well as a variety of data visualization tools (e.g., Mode, Looker, Periscope, Tableau, etc.)
- You can independently prioritize projects based on return on investment and own the end-to-end project management for our analytics deliverables
- You are excited to help mentor junior analysts
Nice to Have:
- Masters degree in a quantitative field OR on the job experience with applied statistics.
- Ability to code in Python/R is a plus
- Hands-on experience working with customer service tool data sets (e.g., Zendesk)
- Hands-on experience running A/B tests and experiment design
