About Ashby
We’re building the next generation of recruiting software and we’re starting with a suite of products that helps talent leaders, recruiters, and hiring managers run an efficient and data-driven hiring process.
We are well-funded and backed by great investors, including Y Combinator, Elad Gil and Lachy Groom. We have over 1,500 amazing customers including Ramp, Notion, OpenAI and Zapier – yet we've only taken the first steps toward a much larger opportunity. In short, it's the perfect time to join!
About This Role
Hi, I’m Kevin, I manage the data team and analytics products at Ashby. With Ashby’s ongoing growth we’re entering a new phase where the role of data will become more important than ever before. With that in mind, I’m looking for a talented data analyst to join our dynamic team!
As a data analyst at Ashby you’ll primarily be focused on product-related analytical questions. This will cover the gamut of most standard analyses and related assets (analysis summaries, metric monitoring, dashboards, etc). Given Ashby is well-positioned to capture
global
recruiting data, our product analyses naturally lend themselves to global job market benchmark reports which are highly valuable to Ashby and the broader employer and candidate job markets (see our Talent Trends for some examples).
Your responsibilities will cover the whole data funnel: starting from raw or lightly modeled data all the way through final analysis summary. When appropriate, you will be responsible for analysis work that become standardized internal dashboards for other Ashby team members. All in, you will have broad analytical ownership and responsibilities, so this is a role best fit for a curious and ambitious type that enjoys touching the whole data analysis ecosystem.
If you are a product-minded analyst, given Ashby supports a whole recruiting analytics product line there is a very real potential that your internal analysis work could contribute directly to our product. This is not a requirement, but I see it as a genuinely likely possibility and an added bonus.
Requirements
The essence of this role dictates you must be analytical, conversant in statistical reasoning, capable of managing the data you work with and distilling results into the appropriate downstream assets. There are a lot of ways to meet those responsibilities. If the dot product of your skill vector with this requirements vector is close to 1, please consider applying, but please note it does not have to be 1.0.
Expertise in SQL-based data analysisStrong in analytical and statistical thinking - you must be able to generate insightsExpertise with data visualization (i.e. visual communication of results)Proficiency in Python (primarily in the domain of data analysis and visualization)Interest in working directly with business partners, e.g. product or go-to-market teammates, to identify and plan related analysis effortsProficiency building internal “data products” based on your analysis results, e.g. high-usage dashboards via BI tools (Looker, Tableau, etc) for various business partnersExcellent written and verbal communication. Ashby has a writing-centric culture, but you will also be responsible for direct collaboration with various teammatesVery detail-oriented: in your analysis work you can anticipate complications and identify bad-but-not-obviously-wrong data discrepanciesExperience modeling and working with product analytics events
Reasons not to apply
You do not enjoy working directly with analysts or other business stakeholders.You are looking for consumer-scale data infrastructure projects.You are seeking an in-person work experience.You want to be on a large team of analysts.
Ashby's Data Stack

As an Analyst, you'll be at liberty to work in a notebook or tool of your choice. Internal documentation lives in Slab.
