Commerce Analyst

New York, NY

Commerce Analyst

You'll be the primary point of contact for ecommerce data questions and analysis, translating numbers into clear stories and recommendations for editors, business development, and social teams. This is a role with a lot of autonomy — you'll help own the analysis of specific brands and verticals, structure your own day-to-day, and bring a level-headed approach to a fast-moving media environment.

This is a full-time, benefits-eligible position with an initial five month term, with the possibility of extension based on performance and business need.

What you'll do

  • Present in-depth analyses of ecommerce performance that go beyond reporting what happened, to explain the bigger trends behind it
  • Translate data into plain language for non-data stakeholders, and make clear recommendations to editorial, business development, and social teams
  • Identify growth opportunities and design tests to act on them
  • Own solving problems as they come up — looking for ways to automate or use tools and data rather than patch things manually
  • Support the business with regular reporting, dashboards, and insights, and keep them well-maintained over the course of the engagement
  • Lead ad-hoc analysis for major commerce moments during the contract window (Black Friday, Cyber Monday, holiday season, and into Q1)
  • Help set up reporting and processes that can hand off cleanly at the end of the term

What we're looking for

Skills

  • Strong analytical ability, with a track record of synthesizing data into concepts non-data people can act on
  • Strong understanding of affiliate ecommerce 
  • Hands-on experience with Google Analytics and Big Query
  • Proficiency in Excel; experience with Google Sheets a plus
  • Experience with a data visualization tool — Looker, Google Data Studio (Looker Studio), or Tableau
  • Understanding of statistical concepts
  • Understanding of LLM’s and how they relate to retail/affiliate marketing

Experience

  • 4+ year working in an analytical role
  • Background at an ecommerce company, media company, or tech company preferred — we're open to other paths that show the same analytical muscle
  • Titles like Analyst are typical, but we care more about the work than the title
  • Comfortable hitting the ground running — this is a short-term engagement over our highest-volume season

Nice to haves

  • Experience with BigQuery or another SQL-based analytics tool
  • Search experience — SEO, SEMRush or a competitor tool, Search Console
  • Paid social experience
  • Experience with an affiliate or retail brand business
  • Experience with LLM analytics 

Education

  • No formal degree required. We've worked successfully with people who didn't go to college — what matters is that you're analytical and get results.
