About the team and position

In today's world, data is king and this is the team with all the data. If you're excited about understanding complex data sets from disparate sources, this is the team for you. Our data science and analytics team automates everything Carvana does from modeling consumer behavior to understanding how to make our users' lives better.

In our Quantitative Marketing team, you will be responsible for all the proactive outreach to our customers. At Carvana, we sell cars but are not car salespeople so we need a new way to reach our customers. Don't know anything about marketing? That's ok! We want someone who loves data and can use SQL and Python to create complex models. We can teach you the difference between Facebook and billboard advertising.

What you'll be doing

• Build automation in our marketing channels to drive consumer demand for the business.
• Understand and optimize the precise mechanics and data underpinning each of our marketing channels, particularly the digital ones.
• Analyze large data sets in SQL, Python or similar tools to actively monitor campaign performance and identify opportunities for top-line growth and/or efficiency gains.
• Automate (or spec out work for dedicated developers and data scientists to automate) marketing processes including the incorporation of data into real-time decision making.
• e.g., bidding algorithms, data visualization, dynamic creatives, etc.
• Build dashboards using Tableau or similar to explain/communicate marketing performance and identify opportunities for improvement.
• Collaborate with the Brand and Data Science teams to ensure alignment with Carvana's creative strategy and leverage our internal analytical capabilities.
• Partner closely with Google, Facebook, etc. to build and maintain strong relationships that position Carvana as a preferred advertiser with benefits including beta testing and access to engineers.

• Regularly update Carvana's senior executive team on marketing performance, opportunities, and testing strategy.
• Design and execute A/B tests on creative elements of campaigns, including ad copy headlines, ad descriptions, ad formats, and ad images.
• Other duties as assigned.

What you should have

• Undergraduate degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Software Engineering, or similar field with a strong academic record; graduate degree preferred.
• 1-4 years of experience in analytics or quantitative practices working in data warehouse environments.
• Comfort navigating and manipulating large data sets to identify trends and underlying drivers.
• Expert level knowledge of SQL.
• Ability to complete projects in Python or R (there's a Python interview, so you'll want to know it!).
• Experience with Tableau or a similar visualization tool is a plus.
• Ability to thrive (and preference to work) in a dynamic, fast-paced environment with frequently changing goals and deadlines.
• Demonstrated intellectual curiosity and interest in solving problems, particularly using data to help answer somewhat nebulous questions (e.g., how consumers make purchasing decisions).
• Excellence in implementation, including attention to detail and strong organizational skills.
• Enthusiasm and positive energy to contribute to and thrive in a rapidly growing start-up atmosphere where roles continually adapt as the company evolves.
