Data and Insights Analyst

Aboutthird

Third is a modern-commerce growth company helping brands turn new and emerging platforms into real sales channels.

Our integrated acquisition strategy connects best-in-class teams across TikTok, Whatnot, Meta, Snap, and beyond - eliminating the need to stitch together multiple partners.

Third blends deep niche expertise with modern execution to launch, operate, and scale commerce on new platforms, transforming culture, creators, and content into real product sales.

The Role

The Data & Insights Analyst owns retail client reporting and halo measurement at Third.

You will build and shape client and internal dashboards and reports, and you will analyze raw performance data to understand how TikTok Shop and social activity lift sales at retail, on Amazon, and on brand sites.

You will sit between our Strategy and Client Success teams. Client Success Managers will rely on you for the numbers. Strategy will rely on you for the read on what the numbers mean. You will present findings internally and externally as needed.

What You’ll Do

Client reporting

• Build and maintain retail client dashboards for TikTok Shop GMV, affiliate performance, sample funnels, content velocity, live shopping, and GMV Max paid media.
• Own the weekly and monthly reporting cadence. Automate what repeats.
• Set benchmarks for each client against its own history, its category, and TikTok Shop overall.
• Turn performance data into a short list of actionable recommendations.
• As SME for halo, clearly communicate results and be able to respond to data questions.

Retail and social halo measurement

• Measure how TikTok Shop and social activity lift sales at brick-and-mortar retail, on Amazon, and on DTC sites.
• Design tests that isolate that lift, such as geo holdouts, matched markets, pre/post analysis, and synthetic controls.
• Compile retailer point-of-sale data, marketplace data, search trends, and TikTok data into one view.
• Build a repeatable halo framework that Third can leverage in pitches, quarterly reviews, and retailer conversations.
• Respond to client measurement frameworks and RFI questions with a clear Third point of view.

Data quality and tooling

• Reconcile TikTok Shop native data against third-party data tools. Document where they disagree and why.
• Keep a clean house set of metric definitions so every team reports the same number the same way.
• Support new business with category sizing and competitive analysis.

What We’re Looking For

• Experience in marketing analytics, retail analytics, media analytics, or commerce insights. Agency experience is a plus.
• Hands-on work experience with retail data. You know POS data, retailer portals, and syndicated sales data.
• Experience measuring incrementality or lift. You have designed a test, run it, and explained the result to a client.
• Strong SQL and spreadsheet skills. Python or R for analysis.
• Dashboard experience in Looker Studio, Tableau, Power BI, or similar.
• Comfort with social platform data. TikTok, Meta, and YouTube analytics should feel familiar.

Nice to Have

• TikTok Shop experience on the brand, agency, or platform side.
• Retail media experience with Walmart Connect, Roundel, or Amazon Ads.
• Marketing mix modeling experience, or experience feeding test results into an MMM.
• CPG category experience.
• Experience with AI tools for analysis and report automation.
