Working at CBC:

At the CBC, we all have a story to tell. What's yours?

If you share our passion for storytelling, Canada and having a positive impact on your community, CBC's Digital Strategy and Product team is where you want to be

CBC serves one of the country's largest digital audiences and one of the few that is built and owned in Canada, by Canadians. Our product suite includes , CBC News app, CBC Gem and CBC Listen. 

Our product vision is to make it effortless for all people and communities in Canada to tell and discover the stories that connect us. Whether delivering the latest breaking news, international hit series like North of North, deep dives into the issues of your town or neighbourhood, award winning podcasts like Someone Knows Something, or nation building events like the Olympics, our products ensure that these stories reach Canadians on their phones, TVs, desktops or smart speakers whenever they need or want us.

You have the opportunity to play a part in informing, enlightening and entertaining Canadians through innovative storytelling formats and content discovery. We are an empowered outcome-driven innovative hub for CBC, critical to the future growth of Canada's public media company and the wider content ecosystem. We believe that we are most impactful when our teams reflect the breadth of experience of the audiences we serve and we are committed to an inclusive and equitable workplace to realize that belief. When you join our mission, you are not only contributing to the growth of the CBC, but the future of our country. 

Why is this role important?

The Business Intelligence team is connected to every facet of the organization as a strategic partner, data solutions provider, and catalyst supporting the CBC's product, content, and operational decision-making with data. 

Cross-functional and collaborative by nature, we work to ensure that objectives, strategies, and tactics across all departments in the organization are aligned and delivering value to Canadians. As a result, we work closely with various front and backend product teams; Content Units including Radio, News, and Local Services; Customer Success; Marketing and Media Solutions; as well as our BI counterparts at Radio-Canada.

To help further scale our BI practice, we are seeking a Business Intelligence Analyst / Data Analyst to join our team who will deliver essential insights and solutions to the business. 

As a Business Intelligence Analyst, you will be part of a major shift towards data-driven decision-making at an organization that's eager to use data to drive the growth of audience-facing products such as Digital Publishing (CBC News, CBC Sports, etc.), CBC Gem (Live and On-Demand Video) and CBC Listen (Digital Audio) as well as support the crucial work of our business-facing teams. 

You will play a significant role in unlocking the value of business intelligence and predictive analytics across the organization and will be seen by others as a key strategic asset, a voice of reason, and a driver of high quality actionable insights across the organization. 

Our BI stack consists of PowerBI for data visualization, Azure Databricks / Delta Lake for predictive modelling, data warehousing, and collaboration.

What you bring to our team:

• The expertise. You have 1-4 years of experience working with complex unaggregated data, especially clickstream or event data. You have applied data analysis and data science methods to business realities and have produced data products (insights, models, etc.) that have moved the needle.
   

• The knowledge. You are acutely aware of the impact of data analytics on business decisions. You know how to analyze behavioral signals and turn them into actionable insights. You use business savvy and people skills to change outcomes, not merely data or technology. You know why it is wrong to measure performance only using the conversion rate. You know what oversampling is and can explain to a third grader how it can be addressed.
  

• The technical skills. 

• • Creating clean code and business logic and revising messy code and business logic

  • Advanced SQL, including CTEs, window functions, and nested queries

  • Advanced PowerBI, especially DAX

  • One or more of Amplitude, Adobe Analytics, or any other enterprise web or product analytics implementations

  • Working with very large datasets (millions or billions of rows) 

  • Statistical concepts (correlation, regression, significance, etc.)

  • Python is a big plus 
    

• The drive. You thrive in an autonomous and ambiguous environment that rejects "business as usual." You are curious with an ability to dig for insights, see the big picture, and keep up with industry changes
  .  

• The right attitude. You enjoy working with people and sharing your knowledge with them in a collaborative way. You approach things with a beginner's mind and are constantly curious and learning. 
  

• The communication skills. You are skilled at presenting ideas to non-technical stakeholders and management. You know how to listen and empathize with others. You are fluent in English and are an excellent verbal and written communicator.
  

• The education. We are less interested in formal degrees and credentials and more interested in expertise gained through experience, but you may be a good fit if you have studied Data Analysis or Data Science, Applied Statistics, or have equivalent work experience.     

Qualified candidates will be subject to a practical assessment of the above requirements. 

Assets:

• Development in enterprise data cloud environments (e.g. Azure Databricks)

• How to use multiple BI tools, not just the one you use the most often 

• Git and version control
