What are the responsibilities and job description for the Business Analytics position at Shepherd?
About Shepherd
Our mission is to create the first comprehensive platform that combines top-tier insurance offerings with world-class software so commercial businesses can manage risk and prevent losses. We’re starting with the $10T commercial construction industry.
Our thesis is that technology can solve the sustainability challenges facing commercial insurance, and to accomplish this we’re building a platform that incentivizes our clients to adopt the best tools when they buy our coverage. Across construction and other commercial markets, technology is available but fundamentally underutilized, despite the potential for improving loss outcomes and stopping this crisis.
To date, Shepherd has raised $20M from top tier VCs including Y-Combinator, Susa Ventures, Spark Capital, Costanoa Ventures, Era Ventures, Greenlight RE and Intact Ventures.
About The Role
As our first Business Analytics hire, you will be focused on driving business growth by analyzing and deriving insights from our internal datasets. You’ll be working with business, GTM/underwriting, product, and market data and be expected to find signals within the noise. This is a high-impact, high visibility role and you will get to partner closely with teams across Shepherd to evaluate key questions, leverage data to solve problems, and strategize on business growth levers.
We have offices in San Francisco (HQ) and New York City. We love working together in person and are looking for candidates who can be onsite at our San Francisco HQ.
Responsibilities
The salary range for this role is $135,000 to $178,000 for this position. Actual salaries will vary depending on factors including but not limited to location, experience, and performance. The range(s) listed is just one component of Shepherd's total compensation package for employees. Other benefits include equity, an unlimited paid time off policy, and 100% coverage on medical, vision and dental insurance.
