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!

Lunch is catered daily. All employees are shareholders.
