Some things we're looking for

• 5+ years of experience in digital analytics, ideally with direct experience working on marketing, direct response, or fundraising campaigns.
• An active and engaged collaborator who shares knowledge and leads project ownership when appropriate. Contributes to a supportive, inclusive, respectful, and productive environment.
• A curious, organized, methodical, and proactive mind. You like to use substantiated data to both identify and solve problems, rather than trust your gut alone. And you have the ability to clearly articulate performance, trends, and opportunities both in person and in writing.
• Proficiency with SQL commands (selects, joins, conditional statements, etc.) and data analysis skills in Excel or Google Sheets are essential.
• Some experience working with CRMs and/or Salesforce Marketing Cloud is preferable.
• Experience working with Google Analytics and data from paid media is an advantage.
