Our growing team of 400+ is passionate about our mission to make people’s lives better. We’re headquartered in NYC, with hubs in Philadelphia and D.C, and offer in-office, hybrid, and remote working based on role and location.

About the Role:

At Betterment, we work constantly to maximize every dollar our customers have entrusted us with. Data plays a critical role in both business analytics and the customer journey. It’s core to everything from understanding our competitive position to our B2B sales funnel to our pursuits in acquiring retail customers, to how we monitor the performance and adoption of our products.

The analytics team operates with a 360-degree view of the company, partnering across the business to help shape strategy, identify opportunities and influence product decisions that create the best experience for our users. Projects range from creating beautiful dashboards that provide a pulse on the business to developing data infrastructure that enables the entire analytics team to answer key strategic questions such as growth, customer behavior and production adoption .

  • Create intuitive data visualizations that help senior leadership make key decisions
  • Build models to understand customer behavior, segmentation and natural language processing (NLP)

What We’re Looking For:

  • The powerful combination of technical expertise, curiosity and business acumen
  • Experience understanding customer behavior metrics, such as funnel conversion, user churn, lifetime value (LTV) and cross-sell metrics
  • A knack for distilling raw data into compelling stories with actionable recommendations
  • Willingness and ability to take ownership of critical business reporting
  • Experience creating and maintaining dashboards with Looker or other BI tools
  • Strong SQL skills and a desire to advance your technical abilities
  • Experience using product analytics tools such as Segment and Mixpanel
  • Strong communication skills and ability to work across disciplines while building rapport with stakeholders
  • Experience with experimentation and hypothesis testing

We expect to take a few weeks to review all applications. If we would like to spend more time with you, you will hear from us to arrange next steps. You can expect 3-4 sets of meetings with your future colleagues in the weeks following your application.

Throughout the interview process, we’ll look to learn more about your skills, experiences, capabilities, and motivators.
