Inside of Blue Nile, we are working to push the envelope in terms of using data to drive business decisions across our Merchandising, Marketing, Pricing and other functions. There are tons of insights to be found in our ~20 years of data, just waiting to be put into practice.
The Analytics Team at Blue Nile has a mix of two missions: 1) tackle hard analytical challenges, for example: What is our price elasticity? Given the traffic and spend over the past few weeks, what should next week's revenue be? What impact did marketing have last week? How should we price our diamonds? And 2) be a well-respected partner to the rest of the organization to help up-level our broader organization with analytics.
The Director of Analytics will report to the VP of Analytics and will lead a small team of analysts. You will also provide best-in-class service to our internal customers, and help translate business questions into hypotheses, into analyses, into insights, into recommendations, into results and measurement. The Director will work across the organization and establish relationships and influence with a wide range of stakeholders at all levels of the organization, and is an analytical, data driven, motivated and decisive thought leader with appropriate perspective on the big picture and attention to detail.
