Business Analyst III - Operations Analytics

Who we are: 

Want to make an impact? Join our pack and come work (and play!) with us.

We believe everyone deserves the unconditional love of a pet—and at Rover, our mission is to make it easier to experience that love. Founded in 2011, the Rover app and website connect dog and cat parents with loving pet sitters and dog walkers in neighborhoods across the US, Canada, and Europe. We empower our community of trusted pet sitters and dog walkers to run their own pet care businesses on Rover with the tools and security of a global company to back them.

Headquartered in Seattle, Washington, we work closely with our teams in Barcelona, San Antonio, Spokane, and remote locations. We’ve got a reputation for being a great place to work, having been named among the 100 Best Companies to Work For in Seattle Business Magazine and Washington’s Best Workplaces in the Puget Sound Business Journal. We're an agile, fast-growing company, and our leadership comes from some of the world's most respected tech companies. 

At Rover, our furry coworkers are just as important as our human ones—and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Along with making the joys of pet parenthood more accessible, we’re committed to fostering a diverse, inclusive, and welcoming community of pet people—and that starts with our employees.

Who we're looking for:

We are specifically looking for a Business Analyst III to partner closely with Rover’s Customer Experience leadership team as well as our Strategy & Operational Excellence team to help make Rover’s operations more efficient and drive better customer outcomes. This will be a high visibility role, partnering directly with a diverse set of stakeholders to determine how to measure and improve Rovers’s support experience. This role will be responsible for varied deep analyses into strategic business questions that will shape Rover’s customer support strategy.

• You are extremely comfortable with taking ambiguous issues and structuring them into crisp business problems, and using those to develop and execute on a refined project plan with clearly identified deliverables, all with relative autonomy.
• Strong proficiency with SQL. You would feel confident reviewing code produced by other analysts and data scientists
• You have hands-on experience building out data abstractions using tools such as DBT or Airflow as well as a variety of data visualization tools (e.g., Mode, Looker, Periscope, Tableau, etc.)
• You can independently prioritize projects based on return on investment and own the end-to-end project management for our analytics deliverables
• You are excited to help mentor junior analysts

• Masters degree in a quantitative field OR on the job experience with applied statistics.
• Ability to code in Python/R is a plus
• Hands-on experience working with customer service tool data sets (e.g., Zendesk)

• Generous PTO Allowance
• Hybrid schedule
• Private health insurance
• Discounted Gym Membership
• Bring your dog to work (and unlimited puppy time)

• Grab snacks, fresh fruit, in our kitchen to keep yourself going 
• Regular team activities, including happy hours, game nights, and more

• This role is based in Barcelona. We have a hybrid-working environment where all teams come together to the office every Monday and Thursday, and the flexibility to work from home the rest of the week.
