About The Role

At CarGurus they use data, not hunches, to inform decisions. Analysts play a key role in crafting the data narrative for these decisions. They love to collaborate, they’re excited by a challenge, and they believe that ownership enables them to grow.

They are looking for thoughtful, courageously curious candidates who can dive into complex data and draw insightful conclusions. The one-year rotational program is designed to give graduating college seniors an accelerated path towards analytics roles within CarGurus. This program provides a unique chance to create a strong analytical foundation while exploring several facets of a rapidly-growing tech company. You’ll work cross-functionally with many departments and stakeholders, gain exposure to multiple dimensions of the business, and work on projects with outsized impact.

CarGurus values diversity in experience and backgrounds—they do their best work when they create space for different voices and perspectives. Whatever unique experiences or skill sets you bring, they look forward to learning from each other!

What You’ll Do

• • Participate in bespoke four- to six-month rotations over the one-year program; rotations may be in product, financial planning/analysis, consumer marketing, and business development
  • Define metrics to evaluate business performance, products and experiments; build reports and dashboards to monitor and understand them
  • Communicate and present data analysis, visualizations, and insights to key stakeholders
  • Be a voice and advocate for using data to improve the quality of their decision-making

Who You Are

While they expect you have a strong academic background, no automotive or technology experience is required. Coursework and/or work experience involving statistics, mathematics, or other quantitative fields are preferred; nevertheless, the position is not limited to any specific majors or minors. Regardless of your background, please consider applying if you are:

• • Open to learn new reporting or Business Intelligence tools; previous exposure to programming languages a plus
  • Naturally inquisitive and excited by solving consumer challenges with technology and data
  • Able to work in independent and cross-functional settings within a fast paced environment
  • Possess excellent verbal and written communication skills

CarGurus Culture

They’re committed to diversity and inclusion because they want all employees to have a sense of belonging. To power you through the day, their kitchens are stocked with snacks and drinks. Lunch is catered daily. All employees are shareholders. They believe giving back is important, so they have established an Open Source Fund and Charitable Giving program which make quarterly donations to employee recommended organizations. They recognize that everyone has a life outside of the office which is why they have flexible schedules and unlimited personal time.
