Moving is one of the most universally relatable problems. Everyone’s done it — and everyone knows how frustrating and painful it can be. Updater is solving that pain at scale. We’re a well-funded and growth-focused company that helps over 25% of all households in the US move annually, and we’re growing quickly.
On the Data team, our mission is to use data to improve business outcomes. We partner closely with stakeholders across the company to evangelize data-driven decision-making and bring data to bear on Updater’s toughest problems. We play an active role in all major business decisions, and originate impactful initiatives to help build the next-generation moving experience we’re creating for hundreds of millions of Americans!
As Senior/Lead Product Analyst, you’ll be a leader on our team embedded in a dedicated cross-functional Pod (consisting of teammates from Product, Design, Engineering, and Marketing, to name a few), and will own relationships with stakeholders across the organization to analyze and solve problems with data, make recommendations, educate stakeholders on how to use data to make better decisions, and lots more. If you love using data to influence decision-making and aren’t satisfied until a project is driven to meaningful impact, we want to work with you!
