Operations Analyst

Jenson USA • Riverside, CA

4d • $70,000 - $85,000 • Hybrid

About The Position

At Jenson USA, we’re passionate about bikes, the outdoors, and the people who love both. Based in Riverside, we’re a leading retailer of all things cycling — from mountain and road to e-bikes — plus a growing selection of camp and hike gear. Our corporate office and warehouse is one of a kind in the region, and many of our team members are riders and adventurers themselves. While outdoor enthusiasm isn’t a job requirement, don’t be surprised if you end up joining a trail ride or swapping campfire stories with your coworkers. We offer a flexible, welcoming environment filled with down-to-earth people who care about what they do. As we continue to grow, we’re looking for a Business Analyst to help us turn data into insight — connecting the dots between operations, finance, and strategy to drive smarter decisions across the business. The Business Analyst will partner closely with our Operations, Finance, and Leadership teams to analyze business performance, identify opportunities for efficiency, and support data-driven decisions. This role bridges the gap between the numbers and strategy — ideal for someone who’s naturally analytical, loves problem-solving, and can translate numbers into actionable recommendations.
