Why are we hiring?

Well, we're growing and thriving. So, we need smart, talented, and humble people who share our values to join us as we disrupt the home security space and relentlessly pursue our mission of keeping Every Home Secure.

We're embracing a hybrid work model that enables our teams to split their time between office and home.

We all benefit from flexibility and get to use the best of both worlds to get our work done.

  • Work with stakeholders and consumers of forecast output to gain deep understanding of planned business activities and macro factors, and quantitatively incorporate these elements into forecasting work
  • Develop strong relationships with key partners in loyalty, growth, customer marketing, finance and contact center teams
  • Investigate and quantify potential drivers of forecast error, present findings, and devise methods to reduce error with each subsequent reforecast
  • Understand and adapt to a constantly changing operating environment
  • Deliver forecasts within an accuracy band established with stakeholders
  • Develop and execute a plan for continually improving forecast accuracy over time
What You'll Bring
  • Bachelor's degree (preferably in statistics, mathematics, or a similar quantitative field)
  • Minimum of 2-3 years of experience in data analytics and/or forecasting
  • Strong SQL skills to work directly with data needed to develop forecasts
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint
  • Experience with Tableau (or similar BI platforms)
  • Solid understanding of statistics
  • Excellent analytical skills
  • Strong interpersonal skills

What we'd love to see (but isn't required):
  • Experience working in a consumer products or subscription business
  • Experience supporting contact centers or lage operations
  • Formal exposure to statistical forecasting & data science techniques in a professional working environment
What Values You'll Share:
  • Customer Obsessed - Building deep empathy for customers and developing strong, long-term relationships with them.
  • Aim High - Always challenging oneself and others to raise the bar.
  • No Ego - "no job too small" attitude, and open, inclusive and humble style.
  • One Team - highly collaborative approach to achieving success.
  • Lift As We Climb - A track record of investing in developing others and helping others succeed.
  • Lean & Nimble - working with agility and efficiency to experiment in an often-ambiguous environment.
