About the Role

We are looking for an enthusiastic and forward-thinking Product Data Analyst to join the Data & Insight (D&I) Team at Bark. The D&I Team plays a pivotal role within Bark, providing recommendations, insights, and strategic learnings to internal stakeholders across the business. We’re particularly looking for someone who has a track record of leveraging analytics to deliver business value, ideally with experience in a marketplace business environment.

Your focus will primarily be with the Product function, helping to drive better business decision-making through data-driven insights. You will report on product experimentation, enabling the Product squads to better serve our customers, and provide recommendations that help shape the customer experience across the Bark platform. You will also be a key contributor to progressing the D&I team’s experimentation processes, techniques and capabilities. We are passionate about delivering value to our Buyers and Sellers in new ways, so curiosity and a desire to understand the unique behaviours of our users on both sides of the Bark marketplace are essential for success in this role.

You will also work closely with the broader D&I team, developing a wide understanding of all facets of the business. This could involve showcasing results from experiments, providing actionable recommendations to cross-functional teams, and identifying opportunities for improvement across different areas. Each quarter you will also work on one or more initiatives with your teammates to develop novel analytical capabilities and techniques for use within the business, focusing on advanced techniques or emergent technologies such as LLMs and AI.
