City Year is seeking an experienced Senior Insights Manager who can oversee and support all Insights work for the national Marketing and Communications department (MarComm). You will develop business questions in partnership with key stakeholders across the organization, plan an agenda for the year, and execute the research and analysis to yield relevant, actionable and timely insights. You will manage one employee (Insights Manager) and collaborate with other members of the MarComm team as well as with other departments.
RESPONSIBILITIES
In this role you will work closely with the Vice President of Marketing to help the organization continually evolve and socialize a deeper understanding of City Year’s key audiences and stakeholders (prospective AmeriCorps members, individual donors, etc.). You will lead in designing, programming, reporting and analyzing annual surveys (e.g. Brand Tracker, Invited AmeriCorps Member surveys, Alumni survey, etc.). You will also write discussion guides and conduct interviews/focus groups and synthesize responses into meaningful takeaways.
We work with quantitative and qualitative data at City Year so you will evaluate both types of data sets to identify insights. For example, you will create and End-of-Year report on all Recruitment and Admissions lead data (quantitative) to track funnel performance and identify opportunities to improve MarComm tactics and content. You will also evaluate open-ended responses from the AmeriCorps Member Experience surveys (with support from Insights Manager) to derive insights on how that impacts MarComm. In addition to primary research we conduct internally, you will also identify secondary research resources to help answer some questions (e.g. report out on trends with the 17-25 year old potential AmeriCorps Member segment).
You will create PowerPoint presentations and Power BI reports in collaboration with the Insights Manager and present the information to various audiences. You will partner with other departments on cross-functional projects, analyzing internal data to answer key questions quickly and efficiently
