## **💻 Role**
At Whatnot, we are deeply focused on building the best possible experience for both buyers and sellers. To support this work, we must understand how the buyer and seller experience on Whatnot compares to the experience at other livestream shopping marketplaces and adjacent marketplaces. That's what this role is for.
The Market Intelligence Manager / Senior Manager owns how Whatnot understands the livestream shopping market and adjacent markets, so we always have an accurate understanding of where we can improve our buyer and seller experience to stand out.
This role is equal parts builder and advisor: turning fragmented and noisy data into a trusted picture of the market, and spotting what's coming next before it becomes urgent. You'll work closely with people across the organization - including data engineering, analytics, sales, account management, product, marketing, and senior leadership - to make sure Whatnot always has the data to back decisions that impact product, pricing, and customer-experience decisions.
- **See the market clearly**
- **Get ahead of changes in the market**
- **Turn insight into action**
- **Build tools and infrastructure that scale**
**We offer flexibility to work from home or from one of our global office hubs, and we value in-person time for planning, problem-solving, and connection. Team members in this role must live within commuting distance (50 miles) of our Los Angeles, Seattle, San Fran or New York hubs.**
## **👋 You**
People who do well at Whatnot tend to be comfortable figuring things out as they go, biased toward action, and genuinely curious about what they're building. They care more about outcomes than credit and stay close to the product and the people using it.
- Bachelor's degree in Business, Economics, Data Analytics, or a related field
- 5-6+ years of experience in consulting, investment banking/private equity, a fast-growing startup, or a similarly rigorous analytical environment
