Data Analyst II

Role Overview

We are looking for a Data Analyst on the Analytics Team who will support data-driven decision-making across our sales, marketing, and business development teams. In this role, you will compile and interpret performance data, optimize advertiser campaigns, and serve as a trusted analytical partner to both internal teams and external clients. You will translate data into clear recommendations and communicate them with confidence. We also expect you to embrace AI tools as a core part of how you work, using them to move faster, write better, and do more with less.

Responsibilities

• Pull, clean, and analyze campaign performance data to surface actionable insights for advertisers and internal stakeholders.
• Build and maintain recurring reports, dashboards, and ad hoc analyses that support business decisions.
• Serve as a direct point of contact for internal business teams – communicating performance results, diagnosing issues, and recommending optimizations with clarity and confidence.
• Translate data into concise, compelling narratives tailored to internal and external audiences.
• Assist with the optimization of advertiser CPC campaigns by monitoring KPIs and proactively flagging trends and opportunities.
• Develop fluency in the MediaAlpha platform’s tools, data structures, and marketplace mechanics.
• Leverage AI tools (e.g., large language models, AI-assisted coding, automated reporting) to accelerate analysis, improve output quality, and scale your impact.
• Collaborate with senior analysts and data science teammates to scope and implement analytical solutions.
• Help document analytical processes and contribute to building scalable, repeatable workflows.
• Design and analyze A/B tests to measure the impact of changes across our marketplace and turn the results into clear recommendations.

Requirements

• 1–2 years of work experience in an analytical, business intelligence, or client-facing data role.
• B.S. or B.A. required, preferably in a quantitative discipline (e.g., economics, business, finance, math, engineering, or statistics).
• Experience with SQL for querying and transforming data.
• Exposure to Python, R, or another scripting language.
• Hands-on experience using AI tools (e.g., Codex, Claude Code) to accelerate analysis, automate workflows, or draft client-ready content.
• Strong analytical ability and experience working with structured data sets.
• Comfort presenting findings and fielding questions in a client-facing or consultative context.
• Solid understanding of data visualization and the ability to tell a clear story with data.
• Comfort with basic statistical concepts (e.g., averages, distributions, confidence intervals)
• Self-starter with the ability to think critically and willingness to learn required.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in AdTech, performance marketing, or insurance a plus.
