    Swyft Filings is searching for a Business Intelligence Analyst with 3+ years of hands-on experience analyzing data and identifying trends that will drive business results. Our ideal candidate exhibits strong analytical ability, insatiable curiosity, decision making, organizational, and excellent communication skills and is passionate about helping small businesses.

    If you're ready for a significant opportunity to take on meaningful responsibilities, bring innovative ideas to our company, and have the drive to follow them through to completion, you're exactly who we're looking for.

    ABOUT SWYFT FILINGS

    Swyft Filings is an online filing service for business formations. More importantly, we're a company that has helped budding entrepreneurs start over 150,000 new businesses (and counting). We take a complex process and automate it to make it easier for small businesses and individuals to launch their business dreams without having to do it wholly on their own or find, hire, and pay high-priced and uncertain legal fees.

    In the last 5 years, we've grown from a lawyer and two online entrepreneurs into a team 75 strong – and you can bet we're not done yet. We're self-funded, profitable, and proud to be a leader in our industry. Our mission is to break down barriers so anyone can follow their dreams and create something special for themselves and their communities.

    To do that, we need someone to analyze data and provide recommendations to improve and grow our business. We want someone who can translate complex statistics into actionable strategies that will improve the company's reach so that we can better serve our customers and more effectively  help new entrepreneurs get their companies up and running as easily, efficiently, and affordably as possible.

    ABOUT YOU

    This position is all about creating solutions out of data. To achieve our mission, we need an analytical individual who can collect, interpret, and disseminate data to stakeholders. Whether developing reporting dashboards to compile data, researching industry trends, or providing suggestions to advance our business, we need you to take ownership and work alongside our company leaders and management teams to achieve results.

    As such, you're a self-starter, a learner, a problem solver – someone who can think on their feet and is comfortable taking the initiative in an energetic, fast-paced environment. You can multi-task and juggle between different projects, using data-driven insights to make smart decisions. When you face an obstacle, you don't accept defeat and give up; you find innovative ways around it or break through it.

    In short, you're someone who values opportunity. Opportunity to take on meaningful responsibilities, opportunity to bring innovative ideas to our company, opportunity to grow yourself and this role, and the opportunity to make a difference to small business owners across the country. And ultimately, our ideal candidate will take this opportunity and run with it.

    • Facilitating the extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL) of data from various sources, developing functional and accessible dashboards that provide a holistic picture of business performance and actionable insights.
