They are seeking a Data Analyst II to own measurement, analyses, and experimentation across the customer journey, influencing how customers start and engage with Acorns.
Responsibilities
- Own experimentation and analyses end-to-end: Partner with product and marketing teams to design A/B tests, measure campaign incrementality, determine sample sizes and duration, analyze results with statistical rigor, and translate findings into decisions. You ensure we're actually learning, not just reporting
- Investigate when results don't add up: Dig into anomalies, validate tracking, segment results, and determine whether unexpected outcomes are signal or noise
- Surface insights proactively: Monitor performance, campaign results, and engagement patterns to identify opportunities and flag issues before they escalate
- Connect metrics to customer outcomes: A statistically significant lift in click-through rate doesn't matter if it doesn't improve the customer experience or drive business value. You think about leading indicators, lagging indicators, and how to measure what actually matters
- Shape Priorities and Infrastructure: Work with cross-functional teams to establish priorities, including new infrastructure and tool building that improves the team's analytical capabilities and scales measurement across the organization
- Scale your impact with AI and automation: Use AI tools to accelerate analysis, generate code, and automate repetitive work. Contribute to the team's investment in agent-based workflows and AI-driven automation

- Familiarity with modern data stack tools such as Databricks, BigQuery, dbt, Amplitude, Tableau, and Braze
- AI tool fluency: You actively use AI tools to accelerate your work and are interested in building agents and automation
- Product and/or Marketing sense: You understand user behavior, customer psychology, and how changes in product experience or messaging can drive downstream outcomes
- Strategic mindset: You challenge experiment designs and measurement plans that won't produce clear answers, advocate for the right metrics, and proactively identify opportunities to better target and segment our customer base
