The Role, along with everything you’d expect

• The Product Analyst role is an ideal opportunity to contribute to the short and long term direction of a B2C subscription model product
• You’ll be on the front lines of solving our technical and user experience challenges
• Champion our users! Learn and empathize with them, understanding their pain points, solving the right problem by discovering unmet needs through user interviews, A/B testing, analyzing data, and conducting competitive research
• The Product Analyst will work closely with our Product Manager, who has both consulting and start-up experience, and who is serious about learning, teaching, and mentoring
• Gain exposure working with partners, both for overall relationship building as well as potential feature builds and enhancements
• This is a great opportunity to learn about the trading industry and financial markets
• You’ll be able to create new processes and establish the culture of our expanding Product team

The Ideal Candidate

• Willingness to guide developers as they build features, understanding tradeoffs between usability and performance needs
• Agile/iterative approach. We’re a small, fast-moving company, so this will be a great fit for someone willing to roll up their sleeves to perform any and all responsibilities needed to ensure project success
• Comfortable with ambiguity. You’re able to take abstract problems and break it down to a concrete solution.    
• Strong decision-making skills. You understand the value of making data-driven decisions and gaining insights from product metrics to back up assumptions, but also know when to follow your intuition in the absence of metrics
• Quality. You insist on the highest standards but know that perfection is the enemy of good 
• Smart and approachable. Establishing a great rapport is one of the most important aspects of the role as you’ll be involved in aspects of many different projects 
• Ability to prioritize initiatives and communicate clearly across the company. We always have a lot going on, and we rely on our team members to have the skills to navigate the best way to accomplish our goals.
