WHO WE ARE

Postmates enables anyone to have just about anything on-demand. We pioneered the on-demand space and currently serve 80% of US households with a fleet of more than 350,000 Postmates and the largest network of merchants in the US. We’re changing the landscape of commerce by making cities our warehouses, providing the delivery infrastructure, and connecting our customers to any product, anywhere, anytime. Postmates isn’t just an app, it’s a way of life and a part of pop culture. We are the O.G. of on-demand and we’ve given people a new superpower — the ability to Postmate anything from anywhere. We’re building a movement to make Postmates a verb: Postmate it.

WHAT WE DO

The Finance & Business Strategy Team at Postmates works on solving key business problems. Our goal is to use data to help the company make the right decisions, address key challenges and identify new ways to grow and impact the company’s Financial performance.

As a Business Analyst at Postmates, you focus on driving critical business insights for our executive team and partner with leaders throughout the company to assess new opportunities and execute on ideas. You are a generalist who uses data to inform recommendations -- but you also have a mind for higher-level strategy. You can execute on near term monthly goals, but also take a long-term perspective. Examples of recent work include developing pricing strategies, identifying new growth initiatives, and building a pipeline of partnership opportunities. You will spend roughly 20% of your time on strategy (planning, prioritization, and decision making) and 80% on execution (putting plans into action), and you will work closely with Product, Growth, Sales and Business Development.

In this role, you will report into the VP of Revenue and your views will be reviewed directly by our executive team and you will have end-to-end ownership of key initiatives that shape the future of Postmates. You must be proactive and detail-oriented with strong technical skills and excellent written/verbal communication abilities.
