Delhivery - Analyst/Senior Analyst

Delhivery - Analyst/Senior Analyst

Analyst / Senior Analyst

About the team :

- The analytics and BI team at Delhivery is a "business first data team". We are part of both the technology and business teams, and our mandate is to identify and solve high-impact business problems using data and quantitative methods. To put it simply, everyone in the team is good at both understanding business and playing with data, and that is what we expect out of future employees as well.

- We deliver more than 10 packages each second, and each package gets scanned, on average, 15 times. Conservatively, that is 13 million records a day from package scans alone. The scale and complexity of the business, and data, means that there is a massive opportunity for our team to have an impact on the firm's finances and operations.

- A large part of the work consists of understanding and manipulating data, finding patterns, linking it to existing and prospective business problems, and telling stories linking them. Along the way, we build some models, write some "smart" reports and build the odd dashboard. Occasionally we might put a model in production in collaboration with the tech and product teams.

- Each person in the team takes end-to-end ownership of an entire problem statement - from talking to the concerned teams and defining it, gathering and putting together the data, analysing the data, building models and finally telling a story in a way that can be easily implemented by business.

- Culturally, we are ambitious (in terms of the work we take on), experimental (always looking for new and improved ways of doing things) and work at a fast pace. The problems we take on are necessarily ambiguous and vague, and each member of the team is expected to take end-to-end responsibility, and make decisions independently.
