GameChanger•New York, NY

10d•Hybrid

About The Position

GameChanger is a remote-first, dynamic tech company based in New York City, focused on improving youth sports. The Staff Strategy Analyst role is a highly strategic and proactive position where insights directly shape company-level decisions. The analyst will report to the Director of Analytics and serve as the primary analytical thought partner to the Strategy team and the Office of the President, including the President and VP of Strategy. This role requires owning the analytical agenda for the Strategy team, identifying key questions, framing analytical approaches, and delivering executive-ready recommendations with minimal direction. The ideal candidate will navigate ambiguity, manage up, and communicate clearly with senior stakeholders. While technical fluency in SQL and modern data tools is essential, the role emphasizes business judgment and narrative over methodology. Deep experience in SaaS or subscription businesses and a track record of building credibility with C-suite leaders are core requirements. This is a hybrid role based out of the New York City headquarters, requiring a few days per week in-office.

Requirements

7–10+ years in analytics, data strategy, or business insights, with clear progression into strategic, executive-facing work.
Proven track record advising senior executives - presenting to, pushing back on, and building credibility with C-suite stakeholders.
Strong executive presence: a polished, confident communicator who can hold a room without over-preparing and is comfortable in unscripted conversations with senior leaders.
Business strategy orientation first, technical depth second - you lead with judgment and narrative, not methodology.
Deep fluency in SaaS and subscription metrics: funnel analysis, retention modeling, pricing, and lifetime value.
Solid command of SQL (e.g., window functions, CTEs) and comfort with modern data stacks (Snowflake, dbt, Looker, or similar).
Experienced managing your own prioritization in fast-moving, ambiguous environments without relying on structured direction.
Experience operating in a product-led, subscription or SaaS environment where you’ve influenced decisions across acquisition, retention, and monetization.

Responsibilities

Own the analytical agenda for the Strategy team - proactively identify the questions that matter, not just respond to inbound requests.
Lead delivery of strategic insights to the President, VP of Strategy, and other exec stakeholders - from ad hoc questions to QBRs and Monthly Initiative Reviews.
Translate subscription, retention, acquisition, and engagement data into clear, compelling narratives that drive executive decisions.
Scope incoming requests and determine the right analytical approach - including recognizing when deep modeling or infrastructure work is needed and routing it to the right Analytics team specialist.
Collaborate with Analytics Engineers and Embedded Analysts to ensure strategy work is grounded in reliable, scalable data.
Support alignment between GameChanger data and Dick's Sporting Goods reporting where relevant to strategic initiatives.
