Why We’re Different

Whether this is the first job description or the hundredth one you’ve read, that’s what you’re thinking: is this just the same old senior analyst job description….zzzz. Well it’s not because at GameChanger we have TACOs! At GameChanger, we love our virtual tacos**; it’s how we show appreciation to our teammates (50K+ tacos given!) for the great work they’re doing! Here are some 🌮worthy actions doing product analytics for our Diamond group (baseball + softball):

• Diving deep into 🥎 team activation analysis to help drive diamond strategy…Roxanne our Diamond Product Group Lead will pitch a 🌮 your way!

• Analyzing the effectiveness of the newly released Lineup Sharing feature - Jamie from Fanatics will write you in a few 🌮s!

• Helping GameChangers learn to data self-serve during Analytics office hours by working together to answer how many organizations streamed games; Alex in Community will blast a 🌮 from his metaphorical 🌮 cannon to you and share a story from GameChanger’s front lines!

• Sharing what you know by educating business stakeholders and other analysts.

• Owning the prioritization process for Diamond analytics projects.
