Role
Who you are
- While technical fluency in SQL and modern data tools is essential, this role leads with business judgment and narrative, not methodology. Deep experience in SaaS or subscription businesses and a track record of building credibility with C-suite leaders are core requirements
- 7–10+ years in analytics, data strategy, or business insights, with clear progression into strategic, executive-facing work
- Proven track record advising senior executives - presenting to, pushing back on, and building credibility with C-suite stakeholders
- Strong executive presence: a polished, confident communicator who can hold a room without over-preparing and is comfortable in unscripted conversations with senior leaders
- Business strategy orientation first, technical depth second - you lead with judgment and narrative, not methodology
- Deep fluency in SaaS and subscription metrics: funnel analysis, retention modeling, pricing, and lifetime value
- Solid command of SQL (e.g., window functions, CTEs) and comfort with modern data stacks (Snowflake, dbt, Looker, or similar)
- Experienced managing your own prioritization in fast-moving, ambiguous environments without relying on structured direction
- Experience operating in a product-led, subscription or SaaS environment where you’ve influenced decisions across acquisition, retention, and monetization
What the job involves
- You'll step into a highly strategic, proactive role where your insights directly shape company-level decisions. As a Staff Strategy Analyst, you'll report to our Director of Analytics and serve as the primary analytical thought partner to GameChanger's Strategy team and Office of the President, including our President and VP of Strategy
- This is not a reactive, inbound-driven role. You'll own the analytical agenda for the Strategy team: identifying what questions need answering, framing the right approach, and delivering executive-ready recommendations with minimal direction
- You'll be expected to navigate ambiguity, manage up, and communicate clearly with senior stakeholders — including when a question requires foundational work before an answer is possible
- Own the analytical agenda for the Strategy team - proactively identify the questions that matter, not just respond to inbound requests
- Lead delivery of strategic insights to the President, VP of Strategy, and other exec stakeholders - from ad hoc questions to QBRs and Monthly Initiative Reviews
- Translate subscription, retention, acquisition, and engagement data into clear, compelling narratives that drive executive decisions
- Scope incoming requests and determine the right analytical approach - including recognizing when deep modeling or infrastructure work is needed and routing it to the right Analytics team specialist
- Collaborate with Analytics Engineers and Embedded Analysts to ensure strategy work is grounded in reliable, scalable data
- Support alignment between GameChanger data and Dick's Sporting Goods reporting where relevant to strategic initiatives
Application process
- At this time, we ask that candidates please refrain from using AI tools during interviews and assessments, as we want to see your authentic self. We will clearly indicate if and when AI use is acceptable in the process
Our take
The competitive nature of sports has always been driven by scorekeeping, and nowadays results are often consumed online. However, for smaller teams it can be difficult to provide this information digitally, as they do not have dedicated web development staff.
GameChanger provides a scorekeeping and statistics platform for sports teams to engage with their fans, that allows viewers to track the progress of a game in real-time similar to with professional sports. The company also embeds a live-streaming service into the platform to facilitate remote viewing, helping to increase audience engagement.
Whilst some sports teams already stream events on platforms such as Twitch and YouTube, most do not have the technical resources to achieve this. GameChanger has recognised this gap in the market, providing a simple yet unified platform for sports scoreboards and streaming, providing a fair opportunity for any team to maximise their community engagement.
