Senior Analyst, Marketing Analytics - LendingTree

The Position:

You absolutely love data (unstructured and structured), testing hypotheses, and arriving at data-driven recommendations that have an immediate impact on the business. You are passionate about communicating insights as much as you are about discovering them in the first place. You constantly ask questions about how to use analytics to improve the business. Is there a better way to identify responsive customer? Who is the best lender we should match to a customer? Are there new data sources out there that would help us make better decisions?

You can transform business problems and questions into analytical frameworks. You will ensure that our cross-functional leadership teams have the data, insights, and recommendations needed to make high-stakes decisions about our marketing strategies. You will sit at the table and form part of the decision makers on these decisions as well. Unlike some analytics functions, you are not a service provider. You're a thought leader to the business, owning end-to-end analytic work streams, defining success and performance metrics, and delivering actionable insights and recommendations for cross functional groups and partners.

Company:

LendingTree is the nation's largest online lending marketplace. That means we connect customers with multiple lenders, so they find the best deals on loans, credit cards, savings accounts and insurance. Our goal is to help people save money, and we believe the best way to do that is by giving them a way to shop for loans and compare lenders, so they make their best financial choices.

Our CEO Doug Lebda founded the company in 1996 after a frustrating house-hunting experience. In those days, we mostly helped people find good mortgage deals. Now, we help consumers find their best in personal loans, auto loans, business loans, student loans, credit cards, savings accounts, home equity loans and more.

What else you should know: 

• We're a publicly-traded company (TREE).
• We've welcomed several other companies into the LendingTree family to augment our efforts at helping borrowers make their most sensible financial choices.
• We've built the LendingTree app and My LendingTree dashboard to give consumers tools to manage and monitor their financial health.  

Culture:

We're a fast-paced company with an entrepreneurial bend. We work hard and test our products often. We're collaborative, ambitious, candid and high-energy. Our teammates are some of the brightest, most talented people you'll ever work with. We care more about your smarts than we do about the kinds of clothes you wear (but please, do wear clothes to work!), and we're pretty good about rewarding innovation, creativity and the knack for just getting stuff done (we even have an award for employees called the GSD, "Get Stuff Done"). 

Come work with us!
