Senior Data Analyst

Seeking Alpha is looking for a talented and experienced Data Analyst to join us.

Do you look at websites and think about how they might be personalized? Do you use websites and apps and think about how their features have been designed to be best for a lot of different users? Do you read articles with statistics and think about how they may be misinterpreting the data to get their results? If these things describe you, and if you’re great at SQL and have experience doing data analysis for websites, you’re someone we want to talk to.

We’re looking for a senior data analyst with experience analyzing website data. Our data analyst team analyzes everything on our website, not only for their immediate use but also for how they connect to high-level company KPIs. The role requires understanding web development and how data is gathered, data visualization and how different kinds of data can be presented most clearly, and business KPIs and how they are measured.

The best thing about our work is that we’re part of an incredibly data-driven company. Everyone from the CEO down uses data every day. The data teams are involved in everything the company does.

Why we’re a great company to work for?

• We have a mission. Seeking Alpha is about more than helping people make money. People who invest are 24% happier, 19% less stressed, and report a 36% increase in their sense of well-being (source). By helping investors to succeed, we help them to send children to college, achieve life goals, afford healthcare, and provide themselves with a secure retirement.
• We’re profitable and growing fast. We fuel our growth investments with our own capital, leading to greater stability for employees, and an inspiring growth-focused environment. All employees receive equity grants in-line with their cash compensation.
• You’ll work with great people. We work in small, tight-knit groups of smart, engaged people who bring everything to the table every day.
• We have fun. We love to get together at company events, which include Alphas who work from home. “Seeking Alpha doesn’t feed me well,” said no one ever.
• You’ll impact the lives of many people. We have 15 million unique monthly visitors, and 500,000 unique users visit Seeking Alpha every business day.
