About The Opportunity 

As the Senior Manager of Customer Analytics, you will execute and own a customer learning agenda that helps the organization gain a deeper understanding of the Blue Apron customer.  You will translate these learnings into an actionable roadmap to unlock growth via an improved retention strategy, collaborating across a variety of internal and external teams to ensure that business implications of insights are understood and actioned.  As the architect of our understanding of the customer lifecycle—from the moment of acquisition through long-term loyalty—your mission will be to decode the drivers of retention and value and build the predictive engines that allow us to intervene before a customer churns. You will implement advanced data science techniques for Lifetime Value (LTV) modeling, behavioral segmentation, and profile augmentation.

• Measurement Frameworks & Governance: Own the definition and tracking of the Customer Reporting Suite that provides visibility to the size, health, and trends associated with the active customer file, acquisition cohorts and other key segments product health. Use causal inference to determine the true incremental impact of loyalty programs, skip-rate interventions, and win-back campaigns. Create and maintain domain-specific analytics dashboards while enabling teams to access data and conduct self-service analysis on a daily basis. 

• Customer Profile Augmentation: Lead the strategy for enriching our first-party data . Identify and integrate third-party data sources and "House of Brands" signals from Wonder to build a 360-degree view of our home chefs. Recommend qualitative research projects to help the organization gain a deeper understanding of the Blue Apron consumer as well as the ‘the why’ behind quantitative behavioral insights.  Evaluate third party providers to augment customer profiles with demographic and psychographic details and share of wallet competitive insights.

• Ecosystem Synergy: Collaborate with the broader Wonder organization to leverage shared platform data and build reproducible data solutions available across the house of brands.  Work with our central data team to help define and advocate for a best-in-class data architecture, including documentation, structure, organization, and processes to ensure that complex data points across our activities come together to power unified, high-quality, reporting.  Analyze how customer behavior at Blue Apron predicts future behavior within Wonder’s delivery platform and vice versa.
