Remote Business Analyst Jobs in Rutherford, NJ (NOW HIRING)

Reporting to the Director of Operations Analytics & Workforce Optimization, the Senior Business Analyst, Operations Analytics will drive the strategic analytics work for cross-cutting, operations-wide priorities—some of the most critical initiatives in the department. This role sits on the Operations Analytics team within Operations Intelligence and will serve as a high-leverage analytics partner to Operations leadership, helping define what "good" looks like, how we measure it, and how we improve it. This is a full time, fully-remote position, though the ability to be onsite in our NYC office once a week is preferred.

What you'll do:

This role will have two primary categories of work:

Strategic analytics for Ops-wide initiatives:

• Provide the strategic analytics horsepower for major, cross-functional Operations initiatives (e.g., AI transformation efforts) by framing ambiguous problems, identifying decision-critical metrics, and driving analyses that directly shape strategy and execution.
• Translate complex analytics into clear, actionable recommendations for Operations leadership, leveraging AI functionality wherever possible to reduce time-to-insight and increase actionability.
• Build decision-ready narratives for exec audiences: clear problem statements, crisp insights, quantified tradeoffs, and recommended actions.
• Partner cross-functionally (Operations leaders, BI, Product, and other stakeholders) to ensure analytics work is connected to real operational levers and adopted in day-to-day decision-making.

Ops-wide analytics + performance measurement foundation

• Own the creation of core data and reporting groundwork that ensures Operations understands what should be measured, how it's measured, and how we're performing.
• Deliver foundational assets such as:
  • An Operations-wide metrics dictionary (definitions, logic, ownership, refresh cadence, caveats).
  • Recurring Operations performance packages that surface the most critical business metrics and trends.
  • Metric trees that enable faster, more systematic root-cause analysis when performance shifts.
  • Partner closely with leaders across each Operations department and BI partners to align on metric definitions, ensure data quality, and maintain scalable reporting.

What success looks like:

• Clarity and alignment: Operations leadership has shared definitions for key metrics and trusts the measurement system (fewer "metric debates," more decision velocity).
• Adoption: Operations leaders consistently use the reporting foundation and metric trees in business reviews and in-week decision-making.
• Automation leverage: Reduction in manual recurring reporting hours for priority metrics as reporting becomes more durable and self-serve.
• Time-to-insight: Reduced cycle time from "question raised" → "decision-ready output," particularly for exec-facing requests.
• Impact on outcomes: Measurable lift in priority Operations KPIs attributable to initiatives this role supports (improved SLA, quality, efficiency, satisfaction, cost outcomes, etc., depending on initiative).
• Internal partner satisfaction: Ops leaders view you as a trusted strategic partner, not just an analytics provider.

What you'll bring:

• Bachelor's degree in Business, Economics, Engineering, or a similar analytical field; Master's degree preferred.
• 2-4+ years experience in business strategy/analytics or a related role (e.g., consulting, tech, finance), with a track record of driving analytics work that shapes leadership decisions.
• Strong command of data and visualization tools (e.g., SQL, Looker, Hex), and experience building scalable reporting or analytical frameworks.
• Demonstrated ability to partner with senior stakeholders, drive alignment across teams, and move ambiguous workstreams from problem → insight → action.
• Excellent communication and storytelling skills; can synthesize complex analysis into crisp, executive-ready narratives.
• A builder's mindset: comfortable establishing frameworks, processes, and standards in a scaling environment.
