At Yelp, it’s our mission to connect people with great local businesses. The Yelp Strategy team supports this mission by working with our executives to help Yelp stay one step ahead of trends and competitors. The Strategy work is leveraged by executives to chart an efficient and successful course over a 3-year time horizon.

The Strategy team works to identify the growth opportunities and threats in our business. The team synthesizes internal insights and external data, pulling it all together into a strategic direction that is refreshed over time.  Strategy helps ensure that teams across the company align investments with Yelp’s strategic direction.

As an Analyst or Senior Analyst on the Strategy team, you’ll research and synthesize competitive landscape data to drive actionable industry insights for our executives.  As you master landscape assessment, you’ll then also work on internal strategy projects, helping business units direct insights toward an agreed direction and potential growth levers.

This role may be a good fit for you if your strengths include:

• A talent for integrative thinking and synthesis. You’re often the person connecting the dots across seemingly disparate data points to come up with new insight or perspective
• A passion for effective storytelling. You have a proven ability to take a pile of data and transform it into a pithy summary with clear and impactful visuals
• Proactive research. You find creative and scrappy ways to source qualitative and quantitative evidence for or against your hypotheses
• Teamwork. You help the team get better by staying aware of your teammates’ research and insights, and combining your research and insights to help develop a more holistic perspective
