How to Apply for Senior Product Analyst
at Digital Green
🏢 About Digital Green
Digital Green is a global development organization that leverages technology and data-driven approaches to improve smallholder farmers' livelihoods in developing countries. Unlike typical tech companies, they combine agricultural expertise with digital solutions, offering the unique opportunity to work on meaningful social impact projects at scale. Their work directly addresses food security and rural poverty through innovative mobile applications and data analytics.
About This Role
As Senior Product Analyst at Digital Green, you'll lead data analysis for their mobile application used by farmers in India, directly influencing product decisions that affect agricultural outcomes. You'll own the entire analytics lifecycle from ETL processes to dashboard creation, ensuring data integrity while translating complex findings into actionable insights for cross-functional teams. This role is impactful because your analysis will shape features that help farmers increase productivity and income.
💡 A Day in the Life
A typical day involves extracting and analyzing user behavior data from Digital Green's mobile application using SQL and BigQuery, identifying patterns in how farmers interact with agricultural content. You might collaborate with product managers to prioritize features based on data insights, then update dashboards that track key metrics like farmer engagement and learning outcomes. The role balances technical data work with cross-functional meetings where you present findings to help shape product decisions that directly impact farming communities.
