About The Position

Go! Retail Group, based in Austin, Texas, is a national specialty retailer and the parent company of several iconic retail brands. We are seeking a Sales Analyst to join our team. This position reports directly to the Director of Retail Sales Operations and will work closely with a highly collaborative team of professionals. The role requires daily communication with the Director and cross-functional collaboration to support the overall business by ensuring all reports and sales data are executed efficiently and accurately. The successful candidate will demonstrate strong organizational skills, excellent written and verbal communication abilities, meticulous attention to detail, and a positive, can-do attitude with a good sense of humor. The Sales Analyst is a data-focused role responsible for gathering, interpreting, and reporting on sales data to help leadership make informed business decisions. This role serves as a bridge between sales, marketing, and management by transforming raw data into actionable insights that improve sales productivity and drive revenue growth. The ideal candidate is equally comfortable building a dashboard, presenting findings to leadership, and digging into a store-level anomaly to figure out what's really going on. This role is 100% in-office and is not a remote position.
