Founded in 2000, Red Ventures is a diverse portfolio of businesses and brands that help millions of people make life's most important decisions. We’re made up of dozens of nimble business teams focused on raising the bar, giving back, and challenging what’s possible.

Over the last twenty years, RV has grown its portfolio of trusted brands and businesses to help millions of people make life’s most important decisions. We simplify online experiences through premium content, consumer marketplaces and advice, strategic partnerships, AI-driven digital marketing, and world class intelligence/analytics.

Our global brands include Lonely Planet, CNET, Healthline, Bankrate, The Points Guy, NextAdvisor, Uswitch, and others.

Core to who we are is our focus on giving back. Since 2013, more than 600 Red Ventures employees have volunteered mentorship and skills-training with Road to Hire, a 501(c)(3) founded by CEO Ric Elias, that connects under-resourced young adults from marginalized communities with onramps to life-changing careers through access to paid training, college, and mentorship. Road to Hire programs have supported more than 1700 young people on their paths to higher education and career placement.

Skip the “entry-level grunt-work,” and start making a real impact on Day 1. The Launch Program is your opportunity to onboard into your full-time role at Red Ventures in a cohort-style environment that gives in-depth training around RV’s beliefs, culture, business model, and leadership. Your first few weeks in training will be alongside a cross-functional cohort group of new RV employees starting their careers across all roles and teams. These individuals will become your built-in support system and community as you navigate the start of your career at Red Ventures.

After your initial onboarding period, you’ll join one of RV’s teams, meet your manager and mentor, and find unparalleled opportunities to make a substantial impact and quickly advance your career. You will also receive ongoing learning and development opportunities over the first year of career with the goal of leveling up in two years with strong performance.

The Launch Program is NOT a rotational program or training role that could end in a job offer – it’s a true full-time role that gives you the Red Ventures 101 before turning you loose to dive in and make a measurable impact on your team!

What You’ll Do

• As an Associate Data Analyst, you will bridge the gap between our vast data landscape and impactful business solutions. Your focus will not just be on the technical side, but also on the application of your solutions in a real business context.
• Collaborate closely with our cross-functional teams – business, product, and technology - to understand the challenges they face, identify opportunities for data-driven improvement, and deploy machine learning and advanced-analytics solutions.
• Translate complex business problems into clear, measurable projects. You'll see the big picture but also dive into details to uncover new opportunities for growth and optimization.
• Leverage machine learning algorithms and data processing tools to manipulate large datasets to create data-based solutions. You won't just build models and products; you'll also interpret and explain outputs to non-technical stakeholders.
• Ensure your outputs are integrated into our products and processes, assisting adoption and being accountable to the business value creation.
• Analyze the impact of your data products, experiments, and/or deployments, synthesizing and presenting your findings in a way that clearly communicates the impact.
• You'll be expected to stay close to the cutting edge in places like deep learning and generative AI to identify how emerging technology can be deployed to solve business problems in ways we haven’t imagined before.
