You will put yourself in the shoes of executives and key stakeholders, translating strategic goals into actionable analysis and delivering insights before the questions are even asked.

What You’ll Do:

• Analyze and segment audiences to uncover behavioral patterns and identify opportunities that inform product and content strategies.

• Evaluate retention drivers and cross-property engagement to understand how users interact across Yahoo’s ecosystem, highlighting opportunities to increase loyalty and lifetime value.

• Monitor and interpret revenue trends to assess business performance, identify growth levers, and flag potential risks early.

• Design, build, and maintain executive-ready dashboards that distill complex data into intuitive, actionable views for senior leadership.

• Develop automated reporting systems and alerts (via Slack or email) to surface significant shifts in key performance metrics in real time.

• Translate insights into clear strategic recommendations, ensuring leadership can act quickly and confidently on emerging opportunities or challenges.

• Collaborate closely with executives and cross-functional partners to define critical business questions, frame analyses, and guide data-driven decision making.

What we’re Looking For:

• 5+ years of experience as a business analyst, data analyst, or in a similar role.

• Strong SQL experience, with the ability to write complex queries and optimize performance across large datasets. 

• Skills in Python for automation and advanced analytics.

• Strong experience creating business intelligence reports and dashboards using tools such as Looker or Tableau.

• Expert in data storytelling, with the ability to translate complex analyses into clear, persuasive narratives.

• Strategic thinker with strong business acumen and a bias toward action.

• Excellent communication skills, confident presenting insights to senior leadership.

• A bachelor's degree is a plus, but not required.

The material job duties and responsibilities of this role include those listed above as well as adhering to Yahoo policies; exercising sound judgment; working effectively, safely and inclusively with others; exhibiting trustworthiness and meeting expectations; and safeguarding business operations and brand integrity.
