You’re not only going to be providing crucial information, you’ll be influencing high-impact decisions by defending your position with analysis.

  • At least 3+ years of experience in analytical roles, preferably in finance or consulting.
  • At least a year in a strategically consultative or influential role, creating and delivering informative and persuasive presentations to senior stakeholders (could be in-house).
  • Experience researching, formulating hypotheses, performing data driven analysis and packaging conclusions.
  • Conceptual understanding of quantitative modeling, forecasting and statistics (linear regression, significance testing, etc.). Experience with quantitative large dataset querying and munging.
  • Ability to create informative and compelling data visualizations to illustrate.
  • Comfort building decks, creating overarching storylines along with compelling individual slides. Practical experience building both vertical and horizontal logic in presentations.

  • Understanding of the Branch SDK and mobile linking technology.
  • Skilled with data visualization tools, understanding how to make compelling points graphically.
