The Commerce Team within the NBC New Group uses data to make critical business decisions, find new readers to connect with, determine new categories to test or existing content to expand on, and communicate with leadership on pacing, top stories, top products, etc. We are looking for an analytics practitioner to help strategically grow the e-commerce business through data-based insights and analysis. In this position you will work closely with the Commerce Analytics team, as well as the business, editorial and broadcast teams to identify areas that can help enhance the current affiliate efforts and find new opportunities to expand the team's reach.
