About Purple Carrot

Founded in 2014, Purple Carrot delivers clean, long-lasting energy through the power of plants.

Description

We are looking for a Senior Data Analyst to join our mission-driven team. As an integral part of the Data department, you will join forces with the Sr. Manager, Data and Analytics (to whom you will also report) in our continued effort to inspire people to eat more plants! 

We are looking for candidates who are passionate about transforming and analyzing complex datasets into clear, actionable, and timely insights that drive strategic decision-making and improve business results.

As the Senior Data Analyst, you will be focused on leveraging SQL, Python, and BI tools to identify opportunities, optimize key metrics, and measure performance across the organization. This is a high-visibility role that partners directly and frequently with senior leadership, translating data into high-quality analysis to support the decisions the business acts on. You’ll also work closely with marketing and other teams across the organization to help them become proficient in the data assets you produce. You'll be part of a small data analytics team, so your work is visible, and your voice matters.

If you are a detail-oriented problem-solver who thrives at the intersection of data, analysis, and strategy, we'd like to meet you.

We greatly thank all applicants; however, only those under serious consideration will be contacted.

Location 

• This role is based in Dedham, MA, 3 days per week in the office.
• Our hybrid approach includes 3 in-office days each week, giving teams the best of both flexibility and collaboration. Many team members choose to come in more often - it’s a great way to stay inspired and engaged with the team.

On the Plate 

• Query and analyze large datasets to extract and communicate meaningful insights.
• Build and maintain interactive dashboards and reports using SQL, Python, and BI platforms (e.g., Looker, Omni, Sigma).
• Build and apply machine learning models in Python — from predictive modeling (e.g., cancel/churn prediction, demand forecasting) to applied techniques (e.g., clustering, regression) that generate deeper analytical insight.
• Train and support teams on the data assets you build, so they have what they need to self-serve.
• Own forecasting and experimentation initiatives end-to-end, from framework design through measurement and recommendation.
• Partner with stakeholders across the business to understand what they actually need and provide data-driven solutions.
• Produce clear reports, visualizations, and presentations for leadership, with the ability to influence decisions without formal authority.
• Monitor and report on key performance indicators and emerging trends.
• Assist with ad hoc projects and tasks as necessary.

Main Ingredients for the Role 

• 3+ years' experience as a Data Analyst, Business Analyst, or similar analytical role.

• Able to commute to the Dedham, MA office 3 days/week.
• Proficient in SQL for data querying and transformation.
• Skilled in Python - for advanced analysis and automation, including building and running machine learning models.
• Experience with data visualization tools (e.g., Looker, Omni, Sigma).
• Strong Excel skills for analysis and reporting.

Extra Special Sauce

• A collaborative team player who thrives on a small analytics team.
• You love teaching almost as much as you love a clean dataset - nothing makes you happier than watching a teammate go from confused to confident.
• You've got opinions, and you're not afraid to share them - pushing back when it's the right call, not just going along to get along.
• You are adaptable to a fast-paced working environment with changing priorities based on the business needs
• Genuine curiosity about the "why" behind the numbers, not just the "what."
• Experience with dbt or modern data stack tools is a plus.
