Data Analyst

Web Design Awards is an editorially-curated award platform that judges and indexes the best work on the web, with submissions judged year-round by working designers against a published rubric. We're looking for a Data Analyst to help us understand how our index, judging process, and directory are performing — and to turn data from our site, submissions, and studio directory into insights that inform how we grow and improve the platform.

What you'll do

• Analyze traffic, engagement, and conversion data across the site, submission funnel, and studio directory
• Build and maintain dashboards and recurring reports for stakeholders across the business
• Partner with product, marketing, and judging operations teams to answer data questions and identify trends
• Monitor key metrics such as submission volume, monthly visitors, and studio/agency engagement
• Help evaluate the performance of sponsored placements and paid membership features
• Clean, validate, and document data sources to ensure reporting accuracy

What we're looking for

• 2+ years of experience in a data analyst or similar analytics role
• Strong SQL skills and experience working with relational databases
• Proficiency with a BI or visualization tool such as Looker, Tableau, or Power BI
• Comfort working with web analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics) and event-based data
• Strong communication skills and the ability to translate data into clear, actionable recommendations
• Solid understanding of statistics and experimental design (A/B testing, cohort analysis, etc.)

Nice to have

• Experience with Python or R for data manipulation and analysis
• Familiarity with marketplace, directory, or two-sided platform metrics
• Experience analyzing SEO or content performance data
