Senior Product Associate - Looker, Data Platforms Engineering

The Data Access & Visualization Platforms team is an integral part of how we use data at Wayfair. Our goal is to provide scalable, performant, and flexible tools through a variety of platform options to support the analytical needs of all Wayfair teams. We invest in business intelligence tools and reporting platforms, build support structures through training and documentation, and connect with thousands of users to ensure data is a part of every decision we make. 

As part of the Data Platform Engineering team, we are aligned with our overall data strategies, and our tool investments are reflective of that. We believe in self-serving data and analytics, from collection, to transformations, to analysis and reporting. We also believe that there is no one tool to solve all of our data use cases, and have a menu of analytics tool options that we drive and support.

We are looking for a Senior Product Associate to drive overall roadmap initiatives and adoption of Looker, one of our highly used tools used at Wayfair. This is an opportunity to drive and influence initiatives that directly impact and evolve Wayfair’s Data culture - including how Wayfair utilizes data for mass consumption throughout our vast user community.

  • Collaborate with Product and/or Software Engineering partners to investigate and implement product integrations, feature enhancements, and backend scaling efforts
  • Understand our other modern data toolsets and where Looker fits in our menu of tools in order to guide business functions to best utilize our tools for their needs

  • Knowledge of Business Intelligence tools (Looker, Data Studio, SSAS/Atscale, Connected Sheets, Power BI, Tableau)
  • Strong problem solving and communication skills across different domains and audiences
  • Experience working with multiple cross functional teams
  • The ability to work autonomously in a fast paced environment
