Junior Data Analyst

This role is open to our San Francisco and Minneapolis office locations.

About you

Other people see data, but you see the story it is trying to tell and paint the picture so everyone can understand. You know that assuming the answer to a problem, without looking at what data tells us, is foolish.

You live to see metrics and dimensions that can be combined to tell a digital story. Working with dashboards, reports and analytics energizes and excites you.

You enjoy working autonomously while also being part of a team. As a details person, you can easily see errors and make sense of what needs to change to correct them.

You take direction and feedback well and aren’t afraid to speak up when issues arise and provide suggestions for how to solve them.

If this sounds like you, keep reading
