About The Position

The Senior Manager, E-Commerce Analytics is responsible for leading the analytics function for the E-Commerce product management organization, and overseeing all aspects of data analysis and reporting related to the performance of Carnival.com. Specifically, the person in this role will lead our overall strategy for site analytics (e.g., measurement approach, KPIs, tools and tech stack); site performance analysis (i.e. purchase funnel); testing programs including A/B and UAT; reporting and score carding; and vendor relationships. This role will also place a critical importance on building relationships, working closely with the Product Management team, the core Carnival Business Intelligence group, and the respective analytics teams in the CRM and Marketing organizations. The ideal candidate should have a deep knowledge of managing large data sets, performing statistical analyses, and hands-on experience with SQL, Tableau, and GA4. Essential Functions: Analysis: Leverage advanced analytics to identify trends, opportunities for growth, and areas for improvement. This includes gathering insights, making informed recommendations, and determining the business value of current or future enhancements to the site. Strategy: Develop and implement our overall analytics strategy with dual goals of driving bookings and improving the consumer experience. This may include developing new metrics, clarifying our analytics stack, putting new processes in place, or other steps based on the strategy that is recommended. Testing: Oversee UAT and A/B testing processes to enhance the consumer experience and improve conversion rates. This includes providing strategic oversight for the team, analyzing results, and making data-backed recommendations for improvements. Reporting: Deliver comprehensive reporting on key performance metrics to provide insights into the effectiveness of e-commerce strategies and initiatives. This includes creating detailed reports, dashboards, and visualizations that communicate the performance and impact of e-commerce activities. Team Management: Lead and mentor indirect (and possibly direct) reports, fostering a collaborative and innovative environment. This involves setting clear goals, providing regular feedback, and supporting professional development. Relationships: Build and maintain strong relationships with cross-functional teams, including CRM, content, loyalty, marketing, business intelligence, and IT. Work together with analytical counterparts to drive alignment and ensuring that analytics initiatives achieve our broader business goals. Knowledge, Skills & Abilities: Scope: This position will stand up the analytics function within the e-commerce product management organization, including the strategy for how to analyze and measure all new enhancements and optimizations for Carnival.com. It will involve identifying and establishing the right metrics for our team, as well as working hand-in-hand with Business Intelligence as well as respective analytics teams for CRM and Marketing. Problem solving: This role requires the ability to solve not only quantitative problems (data analysis, purchase funnel, A/B testing), but also internal problem solving (which tools to use, what the best metrics are for us to track, how we should report our results). This will involve partnering across the organization and developing a strategy for how best to structure our analytics efforts. Impact: This position will be of incredible importance to the business as we identify and execute a strategy for how best to build and measure Carnival.com. It will help set the standards for how we track the business, how we identify new opportunities, and how we communicate our results throughout the organization. Leadership: This role will begin as an individual contributor (supported by existing team members managing day-to-day UAT and A/B testing), but there may be an opportunity to add direct report(s) based on the development of the overall strategy and ongoing business need. The Sr. Manager will also need to lead cross-functional efforts, combining the resources and knowledge of peers and indirect reports from other parts of the organization.
