The role you're interested in...The Sales Analyst partners with the West & Central Sales teams to provide analytics, insights, and operational support that drive customer growth and sales execution. This role serves as a trusted business partner, helping turn data into actionable recommendations, supporting customer initiatives, and coordinating with cross-functional teams to deliver results. Approximately 30% of the role supports the Albertsons business, while the remaining time is dedicated to supporting customer teams across the West & Central region.
The work environment...So, what's it like to work here? If you're based in the greater Bay Area, you'll walk into our Emeryville office each Tuesday morning and start the in-person portion of our hybrid work week at our weekly all-company meeting and find close to 200 of your colleagues, some sitting with their dogs, talking excitedly through the week ahead and watching a newer teammate tell their personal life and career journey followed by a quick update on any hot topics that might be relevant to the week ahead.
We are a dynamic, HYBRID workplace, with an expectation that all employees come into the office Tuesday through Thursday. We are very intentional about connecting in person for things like innovation, impromptu collaboration, having respectful challenges to get to better decisions, leadership role-modeling, and culture building. Great work cultures are built on stories about what great looks like in practice, and great stories during virtual meetings just don't happen. The expected pay scale for this role is $85k to $95k, which may vary based on relevant experience, qualifications, geographic area (if applicable), and internal equity for the role.
At the beginning of 2026, we moved into our massive modern 133,000 square foot headquarters in Emeryville, California, complete with spacious personal workspaces, gym with rock-climbing wall, a café, free onsite parking, tons of greenery, and many transportation options.

You will thrive here and may just do the best work of your life if...• You want to be an integral part of shaping an amazing work culture and being a culture-add
• You can be flexible in your approach and abandon past practices if they don't make sense
• You are comfortable being natural, casual, open, and even a bit playful at work

• You can be both clear and kind-empathetic yet hold people accountable

This may not be your ideal next career move if...• You like a lot of structure, rules, and uniformity

• You like a "big company" impersonal, cog-in-the-machine vibe-that ain't us
• You like things to not change much (we suggest the elevator business for that)
• Dealing with ambiguity or experimentation is not your jam
• You try to resolve challenging interpersonal situations over instant messaging
Here's the deal with our not-so-standard, um...standard interview process because we know you are the curious type, which is why you're still reading this...• Quick 30 min phone chat with a high energy member of our Talent Acquisition team to do a quick overview of your background and answer any burning questions you have
• Team interviews are kept to a minimum to foster a more efficient, candidate-friendly process (too many interviewers yields little value and drags out the process for you-and who wants that, right?):
A short series of in-person or video interviews in a 1:1 setting; these are usually with the hiring manager, one or two other team members, and a person from another team to get broader perspectives (note: we don't do panel interviews because they don't give interviewers a chance to ask you unique questions, and we assign interviewers different roles so we're probing different capabilities)
A case study or job task to simulate what you'd actually be doing in the role (since your job is not actually to be interviewed for a living, why is that the thing companies rely on so much?) Yes, there will be a small panel for this one so you don't have to do it more than once, and yes, they might ask you some kind yet probing questions at the end after the raucous applause stops.
• Once your interview concludes, the team will meet for an in-depth consultative process to ensure we are hiring the right person for the right job. Interviewers must come in with a strong yes or no vote beforehand to avoid groupthink with supporting reasons. The collective thoughts on your candidacy will be discussed in an environment of safety to challenge ideas respectfully, debate. and be open to all important qualifications of the candidates. A trained, disinterested bias blocker will be present to help mitigate bias so the team can make a sound hiring decision. The moment of truth arrives when the hiring manager makes the big decision. If you nailed the interviews and the case study was brilliant, guess what? The offer is all yours! And the ball is in your court. Will you accept? We sure hope so because this place is the real deal, and don't just believe us-just ask the 93% of our people who said this is a great place to work in our most recent employee survey.
