Company mission
Morning Brew's mission is to help the business leaders of tomorrow become smarter in minutes.
Role
Who you are
- 7+ years of work experience querying, visualizing, and presenting data
- Strong experience with SQL (clean, fast code is a must)
- Experience in the digital media and entertainment is a plus but not required
- You (and your skills) will be diverse in nature to cover a wide variety of jobs, ranging from ETL-ing and writing automation scripts to building scalable dashboards and visualizations
- You are obsessed with not only the numbers but the story behind them.
- Incredibly organized with the ability to project manage your own work, as well as collaborate across teams clearly and confidently.
- A stakeholder-focused, strategic thinker who anticipates questions and provides solutions.
- A personal philosophy of, "Yes, we'll figure it out."
- Desire to seek out diverse and unique points of view that differ from your own.
- Strong communication skills with the ability to distill complex concepts into easily digestible information, especially for non-technical stakeholders.
What the job involves
- As our first Lead Data & Analytics Engineer, you will report to the SVP, Head of Product
- This role will lead all data and analytics engineering initiatives including any and all initiatives around data collection, data warehousing, data transformation and data exploration
- This role will oversee various data products such as but not limited to, Subscription, Content, and Product Analytics, Personalization and Recommendation, Marketing & Ad-Sales enablement
- We believe great stories are built on understanding and inspiration. Great stories are also rooted in empirical evidence. We’re looking for an out-of-the-box thinker who operates at the intersection of creativity and data
- Morning Brew is based in New York City but this role is remote-friendly for all candidates
- Continue to build out and improve upon our analytics tech stack which consists of the following: Fivetran, Snowflake, Kafka, DBT, Hightouch, Lightdash
- Working with leadership, product engineering, product management, analytics and insights to develop and sustain our first party data strategy as it relates to our own marketing and our advertising partnerships
- Building and innovating on our data models to ensure data integrity across the business
- Owning all portions of our data stack to meet the needs of our business
- Leading the charge on data modeling for our first party data strategy (organizing, communicating, and actioning our data)
Our take
The last few years have seen a flurry of newsletters start up and rise to prominence. The pivot away from news outlets towards alternative content production sites like Substack, and the consumer pursuit of more personal brand engagement have all made newsletters a lucrative business proposition. Buoyed up by this trend is Morning Brew, a daily business summary newsletter.
Recently, Morning Brew’s subscriber count has been rising increasingly fast, topping 4 million at the time of writing. The founders put this down to its 2020 acquisition by media behemoth Insider, following which the headcount more than quadrupled, and new channels like a podcast, YouTube, and an education product have been added to the Morning Brew output.
The company is now looking to expand to cover news across more industry verticals, and it has the security, engagement, and means to do so with confidence. In 2023, it acquired the short-form business news video platform Our Future to expand Morning Brew product offerings.
