BUSINESS ANALYST

ABOUT THE ROLE

Collaborate with a strong, cross-functional team of engineers, testers, designers, and product managers to continue building an incredible product.  Successfully achieving this requires a proactive attitude to ensure the team has complete and clear information, and is able to work as efficiently as possible.  It also requires building an understanding of the technical aspects of our system, and taking initiative to learn these details through self-directed investigations.  Finally, a large part of this role is communication, striving for clarity and agreement with all involved parties.

ABOUT THE TEAM
 

At Centro, we’ve always been about making people’s lives better—from our employees to our clients. Today, we’re building a unified platform to execute every digital media advertising transaction, thus providing a new level of automation and intelligence in ad tech. This is an enormous task that will disrupt an industry and improve the lives of those who work within it.

To do this, we’re aggressively growing our team of engineers, product developers and designers. We are imaginative, passionate, determined and relentless in our efforts. Of course, we are fascinated by the complexity of engineering problems at this scale—it’s what brings bright minds together. But what keeps us coming back (and why we love coming to work every day) is the chance to improve how work gets done: freeing up people’s time so that they can dream bigger and make life better.

Come build something amazing with us.
