Senior Associate, Product Analytics & Applied AI

Job description

About Owner Owner is the AI-native system local business owners use to succeed, starting with restaurants. We’re building the system that replaces the many tools owners use to run their business. It powers everything from the restaurant’s website, online ordering, CRM, POS, and more. Product philosophy Most small business software makes owners do the work to get what they want: sales growth and profit growth. Owner does the work for them agentically. Our system drives demand, converts it, and helps operators run their business day to day. As it improves, the business improves with it. Using Owner should feel like having a team of great operators, engineers, and marketers working for you. Our vision We’re starting by helping independent restaurants succeed online. But it’s not just restaurants that need our help. Most local businesses are struggling with these same problems. Huge technology corporations are taking their customers, bleeding their profits, and making it hard for them to survive. Once we nail the solution for restaurants – we’ll scale it into every other local business type. In the future we envision, tens of millions of local business owners will use our technology to succeed in the digital age.

Why we're looking for you We’re building a highly impactful, data & AI-first Product Analytics function at Owner.com http://Owner.com. As a Senior Associate, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the product roadmap through close collaboration with Product Managers to establish opportunity impact sizing, product effectiveness tracking, and direct product strategy & tactical contributions. Your work will shift to wherever the highest impact lies - whether that's deep root-cause analysis on product opportunity areas, sizing the expected impact of new features to shape engineering priorities, designing & providing visibility to product health metrics, or directly contributing to the development of analytics and AI-powered product features. The best candidates will not simply provide insights to the EPD (Engineering & Product) org, but be a strategic and operational driver, identifying gaps/opportunities, recommending product roadmap improvements, and creating overall meaningful business impact through direct influence on the product. This role is 100% remote and can be based anywhere in the United States or Canada. You should apply if you ... - Have felt torn about whether to pursue a business vs pure technical/analytical career path (at Owner, we believe these must merge) - Identify inefficiencies in everyday life - and see them as exciting opportunities. - Aren't satisfied with understanding things at a surface level, and get satisfaction from understanding the root cause (the WHY) - When solving problems, you enjoy diving deeply in them to understand root causes and become a "subject matter expert”, but know when to stop “overbuilding” - Aren't afraid of and enjoy picking up new skills and tools to problem-solve - Enjoy tinkering and testing (or building) applications for AI tools like Claude Code, Codex - Want to build solutions for lasting processes and systems. Love a good data-driven decision-making process (but also understand when this is possible and when it isn't) - Have a proven track record of collaborating effectively with cross-functional teams. The impact you'll have - Influence Product Planning Roadmap: Influence product planning through informative impact sizing, enabling more strategic decision-making for Owner. - Uncover Product Gaps, and Recommend/Action Resolutions: Analyze the root cause for product success metric gaps and issues, and recommend immediate resolution pathways, or action them yourself. - Own Your Product Pod’s Analytics: Improve the analytics and engagement strategy for your product pod(s). This isn't just an insights role - you'll design and ship data products and automated AI workflows that enable teams to act on data without waiting for analysis. - Tackle emerging priorities: Lead or contribute to ad hoc projects as business needs arise; this role flexes with what matters most. - Ultimately, help grow our customers’ sales and improve their experience: Across all product pods, the mission is uniform: improve our customer’s experience and help customers grow their sales with Owner.com http://Owner.com. Who you’ll work with - Reporting Structure: This role reports directly to Mark Rogal, Manager, Product Analytics & Applied AI - Team Collaboration: You will be embedded within up to two product squads (preferably one), working closely with Product Managers, designers, and developers within their regular sprint cadence. - Technical Collaboration: You will collaborate with Analytics Engineers on all technical aspects, including data modeling, data quality, and the use of tools like DBT and Snowflake. - Executive Visibility: The work in this role directly drives product strategy, which means regular exposure to senior and executive leadership. What we're looking for - 4+ years in analytics, strategy, or ops - whether that's management consulting, startup analytics, or a hybrid path that's hard to label - Extremely strong quantitative skills, with additional technical background or education strongly preferred. SQL/Python/Claude Code/Codex and product analytics experience is a strong plus - You've built things - dashboards, tools, processes - not just delivered decks - You dig into root causes until you actually understand the problem, not just the symptoms - Comfortable with ambiguity; you don't need a playbook to figure out what to work on next - Experience with SaaS, marketplaces, or high-growth startups preferred - Restaurant industry experience is a plus Compensation and benefits - The estimated base salary range for this role is $160,000 - $200,000 USD depending on such factors such as level, experience and location.
