At Lighting New York, we work to acquire raving fans by retaining excellent team members who are dedicated to the culture and growth of the organization and strive to provide the best in class customer experience, home goods product selection and value. We're one of the fastest growing businesses in our industry and we're looking for A+ team members to help us continue that growth.
As an eCommerce business that also has an expansive Sales team, we collect a lot of data. The problem, of course, is what to do with it! Hopefully, that's where you come in.

You should be a strong technologist, with tools like javascript and SQL management in your background while also demonstrating the ability to comprehend and communicate what the data is telling us.
Lighting New York is headquartered in Selinsgrove, PA (about 45 minutes north of Harrisburg) and we'd love to have you onsite periodically, but it's more important to us to find the right person to succeed in this role - whether you are remote or local.
