What the job involves
- The Analytics team does product research, builds analytical frameworks and forecasts, tells data stories, and makes recommendations so that Mixpanel can run on data
- Since Mixpanel's mission is to enable our customers to be data-driven, it is only natural that Mixpanel itself is serious about being data-driven too
- As a result our team's scope covers the entire business and product
- We believe analytics is a profession
- We inform the most important decisions the company makes with our analyses
- We ensure everyone at Mixpanel has easy access to the data and research they need
- And because Mixpanel builds an analytics product, we are a valuable input for our product teams as they build future analysis features
- Answer Mixpanel's biggest business and product questions to inform our strategy and operations
- Work with Mixpanel’s leadership to identify the highest priority strategic questions, and define a research roadmap to answer them
- Lead quantitative research to discover:
- The relationships between user-level behavior in Mixpanel and organization/customer-level outcomes
- The best strategies for our product, marketing, and sales teams to drive higher user adoption, customer happiness, and revenue growth
- The best proxy metrics for teams to use to achieve company goals
- Conduct regular metrics and research reviews with company leaders
- Forecast metrics and attribute metrics trends to internal and external factors
- Design the right “data interfaces” or data UX for internal users in operational teams to get easy access to the right data at the right time to best do their jobs
- Communicate analysis insights at all levels of the organization to drive positive change
Our take
Understanding customer behaviour is a vital part of any business. Mixpanel allows companies to answer detailed questions about their customer's behaviour over web and mobile applications. Google has struggled to modernize its somewhat clunky analytics platform in recent years, allowing Mixpanel to become an industry leader in the space.
Technology VC firm Sequoia Capital has backed the company, demonstrating its significant growth potential. Mixpanel CEO Max Levchin was also a previous co-founder of Paypal, which may have helped the company facilitate a tie-up with Paypal-owned Venmo early on. Mixpanel now serves thousands of companies from different industries around the world, including Expedia, Uber, Ancestry, DocuSign, and Lemonade.
The company serves 7,700+ customers across its seven global offices. In line with its global expansion efforts, the company has aimed to enhance localized data, helping its clients tailor their offerings to customers in the right way and at precisely the right time. Mixpanel has also focused on expanding its integrations, being available on more platforms such as Google Cloud Marketplace.
