About the role

The Senior Growth Analytics Associate will drive the analytics behind utilization growth and service line performance at Carrum. You will serve as the catalyst for data-driven decision-making transforming raw data into a narrative that helps our leadership team make decisions.

Responsibilities

• Identify Trends & Opportunities: Proactively monitor business performance to uncover anomalies, seasonal patterns, or emerging market opportunities, and turn those findings into formal recommendations.
• Act as a Strategic Advisor: Respond to analytical requests from leadership and cross-functional stakeholders, providing deep-dives into specific business problems, market trends, and growth blockers.
• Own Reporting & Narrative: Maintain and work on key performance reports, ensuring they tell a clear, actionable story for the GM team. This will include forecasting, capacity planning and weekly business reviews.
• Leverage Modern AI Tools: Use internal AI tools to automate manual analytical processes, increase team efficiency, and accelerate your time-to-insight.

• Be Fluent in Data (But Strategy-First): You can easily handle complex analytics requests then interpret data and map it to strategic goals. Experience with Excel is a must.
