Senior Data Analyst (Data Feeds)

• YipitData’s Data Feeds team transforms our proprietary datasets into commercial data products used by many of the world’s largest hedge funds, asset managers, and quantitative investors
• Our products help investors answer questions about consumer spending, enterprise software adoption, cloud infrastructure, healthcare, and dozens of other markets—using proprietary datasets that clients integrate directly into their investment workflows
• The Data Feeds team creates products that fit seamlessly into client investment workflows—whether that’s through granular datasets, aggregated metrics, forecasting methodologies, APIs, or entirely new AI-powered product experiences
• As an analyst on the team, you’ll sit at the intersection of analytics, product, and commercialization. You’ll partner closely with Product Managers, Central Data, Data Science, Engineering, Quant Research, and Client Strategy to continuously improve how clients consume and derive value from our data
• We’re hiring across multiple products, including:
• Kepler — consumer transaction datasets powering institutional investment workflows through granular transaction data, aggregated metrics, and forecasting products
• Summit — B2B spend datasets built from purchase and invoice data, helping investors understand enterprise software, industrials, healthcare, and other sectors
• Edison – email receipt datasets built from one of the industry’s largest anonymized inbox panels, helping investors track consumer purchases, subscriptions, travel, and digital commerce across thousands of merchants
• SpendHound – Proprietary B2B software spend datasets built from ERP, expense, and invoice data, helping investors understand software adoption, customer retention, competitive dynamics, and enterprise technology spending
• Cloud – Enterprise cloud infrastructure data covering AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and Oracle Cloud, combining proprietary spend panels with pricing and capacity data to help investors understand cloud growth, AI infrastructure demand, and competitive dynamics
• This role is different from a traditional Data Analyst position. Success isn’t measured by how many analyses you complete. It’s measured by the quality of the products you build, the customer problems you solve, and the leverage you create for clients and the business
• Own commercial data products – Own products end-to-end, from methodology development and product QA to feature design and ongoing product evolution. Develop deep expertise in how your product works and the investment workflows it supports
• Improve product quality through systems – Investigate complex data quality issues spanning upstream datasets, product methodologies, and downstream customer outputs. Build scalable monitoring, validation, and QA frameworks that improve quality while reducing manual effort
• Shape the evolution of the product – Work with Product Managers, Data Science, and Central Data. Identify opportunities for new methodologies, additional datasets, forecasting capabilities, AI-powered features, and entirely new product offerings
• Evaluate new data and methodologies – Analyze new internal and third-party datasets to determine whether they improve product accuracy, coverage, or customer value. Design experiments, quantify tradeoffs, and help determine what belongs in production
• Turn customer feedback into better products - Partner with Product Managers, Client Strategy and directly with sophisticated investors to understand how products are being used. Translate customer questions, trial feedback, and support escalations into durable product improvements
• Use AI to redesign analytical workflows – Leverage AI agents, automation, and evaluation frameworks to improve QA, documentation, methodology development, and customer-facing analytical experiences
• Build the next generation of data products – Look beyond maintaining today’s products. Identify opportunities to create new analytical capabilities, improve client workflows, and expand the ways customers interact with our data
• Example Projects:
• Over your first year, you might:
• Design a new aggregation methodology that significantly improves the accuracy of a commercial transaction product
• Evaluate a new third-party dataset and determine whether it should become part of a production product
• Build automated QA monitors that proactively detect regressions before customers notice them
• Partner with Data Science to evaluate the impact of model improvements on customer-facing metrics
• Create an AI-powered workflow that dramatically reduces the time required to investigate complex customer-reported data issues
• Launch a new forecasting capability or AI-powered analytical feature that expands how clients use our products
