Data/Business Analyst

Founded in 2011, Hornet is the world's queer social network with over 30 million diverse users, providing a safe and global home for the LGBTQ+ community. Hornet has disrupted dozens of markets to become the number 1 queer app and is rapidly expanding its sizable user base across Europe and the United States. 

We are driven to create and expand a safe place for the community to enjoy the entire spectrum of queer life and friendships - casual meetups and lifelong relationships, political advocacy and personal expression, mental support and sports buddies, intellectual chat, and silly memes. Every day, we strive to reimagine what a queer app can be and how it can better serve our community. Our diverse team spans the world, bringing together a wide range of perspectives and incredible talent. 

Do you want to join Hornet? We are looking for a strategic, entrepreneurial Data Analyst to work closely with our Product and Growth teams at Hornet, starting immediately. We prefer you already have a familiarity with Hornet and the LGBTQ+ community in general and are looking for the chance to make meaningful changes that push the space forward.

Your Tasks

• You have an appreciation for user experience and can translate between quantitative findings and qualitative insights
• You show strong instincts for business decision-making
• You feel comfortable working in a remote team at high efficiency

• Ideally, you have domain expertise in freemium (ad-supported free + paid subscription) consumer products and experiences with developing predictive analytics.

Our Benefits

• You will be part of our mission to provide a safe space for the LGBTQ+ community
• We offer a flexible work environment where you can work remotely
• We have central hubs in Los Angeles and Cape Town if you like to head to the office
