Last week I had the pleasure of talking with Kenn Gold, Director of Reporting and Analytics at TheStreet.com who has posted an opening for a Web Analytics Manager on my premium job board.  Kenn is looking for someone more junior in their experience with web analytics who can help the company drive value from their recent Omniture implementation.

I asked Kenn what was great about TheStreet.com and he described an organization that absolutely depends on web data to make and validate their business decisions online.  In Kenn’s words, the executive management team has “drank the Kool-Aid” of web analytics and the entire organization is interested in getting high-quality data to help them improve the web site.

Since it sounded like one of those positions where the new hire can immediately become so swamped in requests for reports and data that they’re hamstrung I asked Kenn about that.  He pointed out two things:

1. Kenn has been with the company for some time and he would be the gateway between the new hire and too many requests
2. Kenn insists that any data that this person will generate will need to be actionable and usually presented with specific business recommendations

According to Kenn this is a position that will help the company break new ground.  In a growing organization that is not a bad place to be, especially if you’re relatively junior but looking for a great job that will help you round out your resume in an environment supportive of analytics and analysis.Check out the posting and apply to TheStreet.com today.
