HomeLight facilitates billions of dollars of real estate on its platform every year. Our vision is a world where every real estate transaction is simple, certain, and satisfying for all. Our team breaks barriers every day while staying committed to HomeLight’s goals and core values, which is a crucial element to our shared success.

We are looking for a Jr. Business Intelligence Analyst who will be responsible for developing data transformations to support downstream analytics and data needs, owning/monitoring key performance indicators, and delivering key data insights, and visualization for HomeLight. You will work on projects primarily with the sales and operations teams which requires you to have flexible quantitative skills. 

You will be the go-to person for data questions, build datasets and visualizations, and communicate your findings in presentations. As a result of your work you will develop a deep understanding of the business and act as a subject matter expert on consumer and marketing models and key metrics.
