Summary of Role

We are currently looking for an experienced Digital Analyst to join the Ranker team. Our ability to use data intelligently to assist in decision making is a key driver of our success. We need somebody scrappy who is capable of taking a vague business question, defining an analytical approach to it, using the available data and tools to provide actionable intelligence and recommendations. The ideal candidate for this role will have impressive analytical skills, but more importantly, the business understanding and curiosity to continue digging until you’ve found the real answer to the question. This is not a reporting role. This person will report to the Chief Operating Officer and will work closely with senior management.
