Block is seeking a Staff Ecosystem Analyst to join the Customer Insights team. In this high-impact role, you will drive strategic analytics shaping the direction of the company by leveraging advanced analytics and a profound understanding of user behavior across the entire Block ecosystem, including Square and Cash App. The ideal candidate is a 'Generalist-Strategist'—a proactive and agile data practitioner who thrives on ambiguity. You are not just a technical expert who 'pulls data'; you are a storyteller who investigates the why behind the what. You will translate complex behavioral and attitudinal signals into a cohesive narrative that influences high-stakes business decisions and shapes long-term strategy.

Serve as a Strategic Thought Partner: Act as an advisor to leadership, product managers, marketers and designers. You will provide the rigorous, timely analysis necessary to inform product roadmaps and drive innovation
Innovate with AI: Proactively leverage AI and automation tools (including LLMs and agents) to accelerate workflows and synthesize structured and unstructured data with high velocity
Collaborate by Default: Navigate the complexities of a multi-business organization with a 'one-team' mentality, ensuring analytical insights align with both technical and business priorities
Drive End-to-End Excellence: Own the full project lifecycle—from first-principles problem definition to final executive presentation—with total autonomy and an uncompromising standard for quality
Master Complex Datasets: Utilize SQL and scripting languages to navigate massive, intricate datasets, surfacing actionable opportunities that others might miss
Execute as a Practitioner-Leader: Design and build sophisticated behavioral analyses leveraging log and usage data
Develop statistical models (e.g., driver analysis, clustering) to uncover deep user relationships
Conduct network and spatial analyses, utilizing mapping tools like Tableau, ArcGIS, or Carto to visualize geographic trends
Requirements:
Exceptional Communication: The ability to translate complex technical concepts into compelling narratives for both technical and non-technical executive audiences
Leadership & Influence: A proven track record of leading cross-functional projects and influencing strategy without direct authority in a fast-paced environment
Strategic Problem Solving: Experience resolving ambiguous, high-impact business issues by translating high-level needs into robust analytical frameworks
Technical Mastery: SQL: Advanced proficiency in writing complex, eloquent, and efficient queries (Snowflake experience preferred)
Programming: Advanced proficiency in Python or R for data science and automation
Visualization: Mastery of data exploration tools such as Tableau, Mode, or Looker
Adaptability: A growth mindset with the ability to ramp up quickly on new business domains and pivot strategies as conditions evolve
Experience: 10+ years of related experience (Data Science, Statistics, Management Consulting or related field) with a Bachelor's degree
or 8 years with a Master's
or 6 years with a PhD
