Who we're looking for:
We are seeking a Business Analyst on the Finance Analytics team that will be the go-to person for financial metric decomposition and narration, ultimately directly influencing business outcomes and strategic priorities, and forward-looking modeling of our repeat customers, partnering with Finance to both maintain the models and narrate performance against forecast.
As a Business Analyst on the Finance Analytics team, you will work with the broader Finance organization and Product Analytics team to analyze and narrate our marketplace. You are proactive about identifying positive and negative changes in financial metrics while also working with the team to hypothesize, investigate, and identify the underlying root cause of fluctuations in our metrics. This position requires a professional in data storytelling: we are looking for someone who is capable of presenting trends and overarching narratives of business performance to the broader organization, including senior leadership.
As a Business Analyst, you will also partner with Accounting, Tax and Product to maintain current reporting on various areas of the business, and are also encouraged to identify opportunities to improve reporting to better meet the teams’ needs. When there are changes across the business that impact Finance, including product feature experiments, new business lines, and regulatory changes, you will partner with stakeholders, both technical and non-technical, to find the right solution.
This is a hybrid position that has the minimum expectation to work out of our Downtown Seattle Office two days per week on Mondays and Thursdays. For this reason, candidates must be based in the Greater Seattle Area.
Additionally, applicants must be currently authorized to work in the United States on a full-time basis, without the need for current or future employer sponsorship for an employment-based visa status.
