Senior Analyst, Product Analytics (Remote - US)

Summary

At Yelp, it’s our mission to connect people with great local businesses. From a coffee connoisseur’s review of a neighborhood cafe, to a homeowner’s request for a quote to remodel their kitchen, Yelp’s data captures millions of user-business interactions every day.

Within Yelp’s Business Operations & Strategy organization, the Product Analytics team prides itself on harnessing the power of this data. We test and learn, build tools and lead meaningful analyses to extract insights that influence Yelp’s product and business strategy. Our contributions deliver incremental and sustainable growth in user contribution, traffic, and revenue.

We’re looking for a self-motivated critical thinker whose intellectual curiosity is met with a skeptical eye and sound business judgment. You value the integrity of your work, take pride in telling stories with data, and want to have a stake in business decisions. You are a team player who is an excellent communicator and quick learner.
