We are looking for a Senior Data Analyst to join our Data team, and work closely with both cross functional teams and squads to drive forward our company strategy. We have a huge wealth of data, and we will need you to help us make sense of it and deliver insights that will help drive our strategy to change the world of pet food for good.

Changing the world of pet food for good
We’re tails.com, a dog food subscription company with a big difference. We create truly tailored food for each and every dog we serve. We start by asking people a few simple questions about their dog. Then we use that information to create their dog’s unique tails.com recipe – so their dog gets exactly the nutrition they need, in the taste they love, delivered to their door every month. It’s clever stuff.

We’ve got bold plans. Having created an entirely new category in pet food, we’re now scaling fast in the UK and Europe – backed by Purina, one of the world’s largest pet food companies. You’ll join a bunch of smart people working towards the same goals – and a bunch of smart-ish dogs, all working on their own thing.

Together, we’ll change the world of pet food for good.

Data Team
The data team at tails.com sits centrally within the Commercial Function at tails.com, and partners across the whole business. Our team covers the entire spectrum of data-related tasks, from collecting and processing data to making insightful visualisations and conducting rigorous experiments. We play a vital role in helping individuals at tails.com make informed decisions, driving the continued success and growth of our business. Data analysts are embedded within product teams and drive impact through influencing the product development life-cycle, while also working on central data products and support to drive data driven decision making across tails.com.

Build our brand
We’re building an international brand, fast. We set ambitious goals. We challenge and support each other in equal measure. At the pace we’re moving, we prefer to test ideas and learn quickly rather than spend months building a business case. That means we celebrate when things go right, and we learn when things go wrong.
