The BIL will often work with the product department as a customer advocate and with the business units and an investor/investment return advocate beholden to no one. **Tasks and responsibilities**: The primary responsibility of the BIL is to transform data from various software sources into insight that can help to improve the value of the business. Other duties and responsibilities of a Business Intelligence Lead within YMM include: - Take ownership, improve, scale and iterate on existing data processing pipelines, design and implement new data processing pipelines. - Redesign the Company’s data architecture to produce data feed for analytics to support product. Marketing and business decision-making process. - Collect and monitor performance metrics. - Identify from data-analytics and then report and lobby for business, product and marketing opportunities - Collaborate with team members for the purpose of collecting data and setting data retrieval criteria **OKRs (“Objectives & Key Results”)**: - **Increase in funnel efficiency of 25% in first 3 months and then 2% per month compounding for next 21 months**: - **Create tagging schema**: - **Resolve 10 highest ranked product issue**: - **Create dynamic table of primary business issues** **You have**: - 2+ years of experience as a Data Engineer/BI Engineer - Thorough understanding of SQL and Relational Databases (Amazon Redshift, PostgreSQL) - Hand-on experience with ETL pipelines creation, implementation, and maintenance. - Hand-on experience with AWS cloud **You are**: - Relentless to the point of being a pain in the butt - Entrepreneurial - Able to instinctively recognize trends, patters, inconsistencies - Methodical, always testing, second guessing - Restless - nothing is ever settled - Collaborative **Our Company Cultural Pillars (what we look for in our team members)**: **Views technology as progress for humanity**:You don’t necessarily need to be the most early adopter of early adopters, but at YMM we firmly believe that technology, when used correctly and when access is given equitably, should improve the human experience, and we’re looking for likeminded team members. **Innovative, optimistic, curious, and thinks outside the box**:Although introspection, reflection and research are fundamental to a healthy business, to build an “Adhocracy” we are looking for people who are willing to believe in crazy ideas. An idea for how to practice this: in your next team brainstorm, instead of defining all the reasons an idea won’t work, try listing all the reasons it might work. **Humility & willingness to grow**:“Everyone in the world is better than you at something.” The smartest people always know that they’re not the smartest person, and stay open to constructive feedback (from anyone - not just their superiors) as a tool for continuous growth. The humility to receive feedback without becoming defensive or pointing fingers is crucial to YO’s culture. And of course, feedback should always be given following the “Radical Candor” style. (Radical Candoris required reading) **World-class communicators**:When in doubt, overcommunicate. Imagine how many problems in the world have been caused by miscommunication or misunderstandings caused by less-than-perfect communication. We’ve all been there - you walk away from an interaction thinking that the other person understood you perfectly, yet find out a few days later that they had a completely different takeaway of the conversation as you did. This is especially a challenge for globally distributed teams who work in several different languages and time zones. We are looking to build a team of world-class communicators (whether written or verbal, but ideally both) in order to improve efficiency, productivity, and happiness at YO (less misunderstandings = happier workplace). (Required reading: The Story of Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody) **Proactive & problem-solving attitude**:Nobody wants to work with somebody who only brings problems to the table and not solutions. We’re looking for people who will lead brainstorms, suggest ways to help their coworkers solve problems, or be willing to roll up their sleeves and jump in if their help/skillset is needed (the “no task too small” attitude). We expect that the first response to a problem is to start finding solutions. **Salary**: $40,000.00 - $50,000.00 per month
