Job Description
Ignite Reading teaches kids to read.
Today, 67% of students and 82% of low-income students can’t read at grade level by the end of third grade. That’s when you are supposed to go from learning to read to reading to learn. It’s America’s number one education crisis and we know how to fix it.
Ignite teaches kids to read by providing 15 minutes a day of 1:1 virtual reading instruction. We focus on the reading fundamentals (letters, phonics, and sight words) kids need to master so they can decode a sentence. Our program accelerates reading progress 2.4x and we are disrupting how schools think about reading instruction.
Ignite launched our first school implementation in the fall of 2021. Sixteen months later, we will have grown our number of schools and students 35x.
Ignite Reading is a mission-driven public benefit corporation. We believe we can do well for our team members and shareholders while we solve one of the nation’s biggest challenges. We believe we will be more successful with a diverse team and are seeking candidates who have lived experience related to social justice, diversity, equity, and inclusion.
The Role:
As a key player in our team, the Senior Data Analyst will lead major data analytics projects from start to finish, unravel complex business questions, and harness the power of Ignite Reading data to inform strategic decisions. This pivotal role involves translating complex data insights into clear business opportunities and acting as a critical bridge between the data team and various business units. Importantly, this role entails direct collaboration with senior leadership, offering insights that drive business strategy. Additionally, you'll manage and mentor 1-2 data analysts, nurturing their development and ensuring project success.
Responsibilities:
- Strategic Project Leadership: Drive the execution of large-scale data analytics projects, delivering impactful insights with precision.
- Insightful Analysis for Strategic Decisions: Tackle ambiguous questions with sophisticated analysis, leveraging Ignite Reading data to carve out actionable strategies, directly informing senior leadership decision-making.
- Effective Stakeholder Collaboration: Seamlessly translate data insights into actionable business opportunities, working closely with business units and engaging directly with senior leadership to guide strategic directions.
- Mentorship and Team Management: Oversee 1-2 data analysts, providing guidance and mentorship, while fostering a culture of excellence and innovation.
- Innovative Solutions: Utilize advanced skills in DBT or SQL, Python or a comparable programming language, and Tableau or similar BI tools to creatively solve significant business challenges.
Qualifications:
- Proven proficiency in DBT or SQL, Python or another programming language, and Tableau or similar BI tools.
- Demonstrated success in leading substantial data analytics projects independently.
- Exceptional ability to analyze complex data and translate findings into strategic insights for senior leadership.
- Strong communication skills, adept at liaising between technical teams and business stakeholders, including senior leadership.
- Experience in managing ambiguous business inquiries through strategic data analysis.
- A minimum of 5 years in data analytics, with at least 2 years in a senior or leadership capacity, including experience managing direct reports.
At Ignite Reading, we believe in building and fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace environment. We are proud to be an equal opportunity employer where all applicants are considered for employment without attention to color, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, veteran or disability status. Research shows that candidates from underrepresented backgrounds often don't apply for roles if they don't meet all the criteria – unlike majority candidates meeting significantly fewer requirements. We strongly encourage you to apply if you’re interested!
We are seeking candidates who have lived experience related to social justice, diversity, equity, and inclusion. We are a virtual organization with headquarters in the California Bay Area.Â
