Sr. Business Analyst, Workforce Management

Who we are:

Want to make an impact? Join our pack and come work (and play!) with us.

We believe everyone deserves the unconditional love of a pet—and at Rover, our mission is to make it easier to experience that love. Founded in 2011, the Rover app and website connect dog and cat parents with loving pet sitters and dog walkers in neighborhoods across the US, Canada, and Europe. We empower our community of trusted pet sitters and dog walkers to run their own pet care businesses on Rover with the tools and security of a global company to back them.

Headquartered in Seattle, Washington, we work closely with our teams in Barcelona, London, San Antonio, Spokane and remote locations. We’ve got a reputation for being a great place to work, having been named among the 100 Best Companies to Work For in Seattle Business Magazine and Washington’s Best Workplaces in the Puget Sound Business Journal. We're an agile, fast-growing company, and our leadership comes from some of the world's most respected tech companies.

At Rover, our furry coworkers are just as important as our human ones—and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Along with making the joys of pet parenthood more accessible, we’re committed to fostering a diverse, inclusive, and welcoming community of pet people—and that starts with our employees.

Who we're looking for:

The WFM practice supports the company’s global operations efforts, while also working with partner teams throughout the organization.

Over time, you will evolve into a trusted business partner who can surface the right information to assist in decision making at the right time and drive a seamless operation which is effective (quality) and efficient (cost). The ideal candidate must possess a strong technical background with proven expert abilities in data modeling techniques, SQL, building reporting abstractions, and foundational understanding of applied statistics to drive WFM capabilities with a reasonable level of autonomy.
