Everyone is welcome at Handshake. We know diverse teams build better products and we are committed to creating an inclusive culture built on a foundation of respect for all individuals. We strongly encourage candidates from non-traditional backgrounds, historically marginalized or underrepresented groups to apply.
We believe that talent is equally distributed but opportunity is not. While we have started to chip away at this problem, the real work is ahead of us.
Specifically, Handshake is in the early stages of a transition from a transactional job board for internships and 1st time jobs to a talent focused social network. If we get this right, it will be transformation for how Gen Z prepares for and enters the workforce as well as how employers think about their brand and source the next generation of talent.
We are looking for a Manager, Growth Analytics to join our Business Operations team which is tasked with developing a clear-eyed view of business health and how we power growth for all three sides of our marketplace – students, employers, and universities.
Specifically, this role will focus on building the analytics backbone that powers BizOps insights and recommendations, starting with understanding the revenue impact of our Employer product investments, key types of engagements, and other monetization levers such as pricing.
The Biz Ops team sits within the Finance team to 1) translate student & employer engagement, product actions, and revenue levers, to short and long term financial impact and 2) to provide the cross functional context and structure necessary to allocate resources appropriately (i.e. between sales and product led growth opportunities).
Our preferred candidate is familiar with SaaS/marketplace businesses and associated growth strategies. They should be curious about what drives growth and bring the requisite technical chops to mine our data for answers. Often this person will be bringing structure and clarity to important but still-developing product surface areas – this will require tenacity in the face of ambiguity. Importantly, they should be willing to learn – and learn again – and again – as our understanding of the marketplace and strategy evolve during this critical phase.
Our ideal candidate is looking to join a small (but mighty) business operations team to flex their analytical skills and develop their strategic thinking and influence. It’s fun building a business – and we have the opportunity to build a big one with meaningful impact.
Specifically, candidates should have proven experience in:
