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.

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.

We are looking to hire a Senior Data Analyst to join our AI Product division. Formed last year, we are charged with building AI-powered solutions that will change how our teammates operate and how our brands go to market. We’re developing applications that will impact how we produce media, personalize our site experience, converse with our customers, and add intelligence into our digital buy-flows. Our team is responsible for both building the underlying technology and applying these applications to business opportunities. We’re a growing team made up of a mix of data scientists, machine learning engineers, analytics engineers, software engineers, product managers and analysts.

You will be responsible for maximizing the value of our product suite by driving adoption with our brands and partners. Our delivery team operates in two ways. (1) We collaborate with brands to build new, customized consumer-facing applications that are powered by our AI/ML product suite. (2) We take over portions of the current consumer flow and apply the AI/ML suite to optimize core business metrics. You will work directly with our own designers and developers to do implementation while working with our product teams to identify core features and functionality that should be added to the underlying suite of tools. You will have the opportunity to customize solutions for business specific use cases as you see fit.

This role will have a high level of visibility across the industry group. You will be the point-person for a key capability with multiple senior stakeholders while working directly with end-users as you build business and customer value. Your contribution to the organization will be multifaceted – we are looking for someone who has a strong data foundation, can effectively collaborate with their development team, and can influence business decisions using their expertise and communication skills.

We believe that diverse, inclusive teams are better teams. Think of the bullets below as guidelines: if you only partially meet the qualifications on this posting, we encourage you to apply anyway!

This position can be based in our Charlotte, NC or New York City office on a hybrid schedule.

What You'll Do
