Being on camera is a standard requirement for our process and part of how we assess fit and communication style, so we do require it to move forward with any applicant's candidacy.

The Opportunity

At Root, we’re on a mission to improve the lives of our customers by offering better insurance solutions. We challenge ourselves to think differently in order to reimagine insurance to make it smarter, more equitable, and a better experience for all. 

We strive to “unbreak” the archaic insurance industry by using data and technology in innovative new ways. We believe we must be steadfast in our commitment to research, experimentation, and disciplined data-driven decision making in order to build products our customers love. Analytics sits at the center of our vision.

Our Insurance Operations Analytics team manages all aspects of our pricing, underwriting, and third party data analytics programs. With a product-first approach, we are responsible for monitoring the performance of these products across all markets and distribution channels. 

As a Business Insights Senior Analyst, you will deepen our understanding of our business performance and elevate the way we measure and learn. You’ll accomplish this by delivering data driven insights to non-technical and technical stakeholders through independent research, the development and maintenance of self-service reporting tools, and ad hoc analysis. You’ll work closely with cross functional partners in Analytics, Product, Data Science, and State Management to ensure our business decisions and strategies are rooted in facts, so we can continue to grow profitably. 

Root is a “work where it works best” company. Meaning we will support you working in whatever location that works best for you across the US. We will continue to have our headquarters in Columbus and offices in other locations to give more flexibility and more choice about how we live and work.

Salary Range: $105,000 - $125,000 (Bonus & LTI Eligible)
