Product & Analyst at Detective.io

Sales prospecting sucks. Or, at least it did until Detective came along. Detective automates all the human grunt work sales reps do before picking up the phone including finding the fastest way to capture their prospect's attention with a well crafted opener. We’ve raised over $4m and have tripled in size in the past year.

Detective is one of Chicago’s fastest growing startups, and we’re looking for a Product Analyst to join our team. You will be our first Product Analyst and you'll work closely our VP of Product and CEO. You will be working directly with customers to gather requirements, configure our product and ensure that our product is best setup to deliver value to every customer. In addition, you will work with the product team on data analysis projects to help us improve our product.

Here's your mission, should you choose to accept:

1. Work as the liaison between a new customer and the product team to define the client's needs and configure our product to deliver on those needs.
2. Translate what customers say into what they really mean. Then, using your analytical skills, find out how best to make that happen.
3. Analyze different data sources, news databases, and social networks to find out how to get the data our customers need. While no engineering experience is required, you must be able to critically think through how we can create business logic to determine which data to show the customer and which we shouldn't. Our customers are meeting with high-value clients and need our intelligence to get up to speed on those clients.
4. Turn data into information, get insights and develop business decisions based on the analysis results. Help turn that information into product recommendations.
5. Manage a project and communicate with stakeholders (customer, sales rep, engineers, and product) from beginning to end. Must be incredibly organized and proactive with communication.

Things we love:

• Delivering Value: We're driven by making our customers' lives better. That why we exist. We don't settle for mediocre outcomes, and neither do you.
• Authenticity: You’re a good person. We work together, we grind together, we travel together, we joke together, and most importantly, we’ve got each others back.
• Work ethic: You have a chance to create and lead something from the beginnings here, that requires a strong work ethic and hustle. You’re entrepreneurial.
• Continual growth: A thirst to learn and be better every day, for yourself, for the team, and for our customers.
• Analytical: You see every problem as a puzzle yet to be solved. You break down big problems into smaller ones until all you're able to find solutions.
• Process-centric: It bugs the heck out of you when the same things are done by hand over and over again. Checklists, templates, or spreadsheets -- doesn't matter the tool; you're happiest once you've put a structure to the process.

Why you’ll love it here:

• If you want to join a rocket ship, here’s your chance. You’ll get a chance to have a significant role in a fast growing 11 person startup.
• Our team is full of passionate and inspiring people and you can tell just by looking at what our team members have done outside of work: Our VP of Product created a music festival and we go every year and dance till 4am to him crushing the trumpet. Our customer success leader was ranked one of the top 25 under 25 entrepreneurs in Chicago. Our CEO started animating at the age of 11. One of our SDRs created a seaweed farming business before the age of 18. We love people who live passionately and fearlessly.
• You’ll be challenged and you’ll challenge others. We’re all about self-growth here, and we push each other to be the best we can.
• Raised over $4m in funding from some of Chicago’s top investors, including the founders of Groupon, Hoovers, Hubspot, and more.
• Supportive group of people who care as much about your success as the teams.
• Competitive Salary and equity.
• Note: Chicago-only (located in West Loop), not a remote role.

Benefits

1. Competitive salary & equity
2. Health, dental, & vision benefits for you and your family (50% paid)
3. Flexible working hours
4. Unlimited vacation policy
5. Work from home 1-2 days a week
6. Free water

You will have the opportunity to work on projects that will have a meaningful impact on our business. You will also have the opportunity to grow into new roles as we continue to grow.

Previous Sales Experience preferred (this is not a sales position, but we are building a sales tool so this is a plus)

About Detective.io:

Ever gone into a big meeting and wished you had done more prep work? Or, ever started researching a company or person to get prepared and realize that 2 hours has gone by in a second? Our platform automates the research sales reps do before they pick up the phone. A company’s success depends on how well they acquire new clients - we help them do that faster.

If you want to join a rocket ship, here’s your chance. We’ve doubled in size in the past year. Our clients include Careerbuilder, Jellyvision, & Sprout Social. We’ve raised $4.2M by GoAhead ventures, the founders of Groupon, Hoovers, Hubspot & more. We work out of a timber loft in the heart of West Loop, Chicago. We like board games. We love to travel and adventure. We love passionate people - our VP of Product has his own band, our VP of Engineering is a master chef, we’ve got some marathoners, some artists, and supposedly the team is scheming to turn our office into a late night library and speakeasy, but I cannot confirm or deny. We’re small (<15 people) so we can’t settle with hiring - you’ve got to be an all-star, a culture fit, and a genuinely good person.
