Join us on our mission to empower more people to find their way home by breaking barriers to entry, making the right connections, and building confidence through expert guidance. The Data and Analytics organization at Realtor.com® sits at the heart of this mission. We process and analyze terabytes of data every day that enable decisions for millions of home buyers, sellers, renters, dreamers, and real estate professionals. Our goal is to use this data to make the home buying experience a breeze for our consumers. We empower them with the most up-to-date information on properties, help them find their dream homes in the least amount of time, and match them with the most suitable realtor to meet their unique, individual needs.

To accomplish that task, we are looking for a Senior Data Analyst with a consumer services, business, or technology background to join our expanding Product Analytics team within the Enterprise Data Science and Analytics organization. The team you are joining acts as a “trusted” partner to our key product stakeholders helping them answer their most critical business questions. This could be accomplished by conducting strategic deep insight analysis, A/B experimentation design and measurement, or creating new innovative ways to measure the success of the business.

Ideal candidates will be comfortable presenting their findings to stakeholders and working with ambiguous concepts at times.
