Hi there, we’re Article. 👋 Since 2013, we have been redefining the furniture industry one sofa at a time, it’s not easy - it requires solving challenging, meaningful problems. This is where you come in, we are looking for an Intermediate Business Analyst to support the experimentation and data needs of the business. The team operates as a centralized hub for Business Intelligence and Analytics (BIA)

This role is the intersection of data, experimentation, and AI-enabled decision-making. Prior experience designing data experiments is required to be considered.

What this job is NOT:
  1. Non-technical, traditional requirements and documentation gathering BA roles
  2. You won’t be writing user stories for technical people and managing a backlog
  3. You are not a Project coordinator in disguise; this isn't a role where your primary output is a meeting minute or a project timeline

Why We Need You:

You are responsible for turning complex, sometimes ambiguous data into clear insights that drive measurable business outcomes, and for building the analytical infrastructure that makes those insights scalable and repeatable. This includes designing rigorous experiments, deploying and governing AI tools, and partnering closely with internal teams to ensure analysis translates into action.

KPIs tracked by Data Operations:
  1. Quality and reliability of AI agent outputs (i.e., Genies in Databricks) and guardrail effectiveness
  2. Experiment design rigor and speed-to-insight on A/B and non-testable decisions
  3. Data accuracy, consistency, and integrity across analytical systems
  4. Stakeholder confidence in recommendations and analytical frameworks
  5. Contribution to team capability through documentation, SOPs, and knowledge sharing

Why Article?

As a Particle (people of Article), you will have a high level of autonomy to solve challenging, meaningful problems the best way you can. That means you’re trusted to explore solutions you believe will work best (you’re the expert, after all). You’ll do all this while growing your skills within a company that is redefining the furniture industry.

About the Business Insights and Analytics (BIA) team:

  • The team is split into Business Operations and Data Operations - the team currently has 7 Particles (people of Article).
  • They are a hybrid team - you'll be in the office 3 days per week.

This role's hiring manager:
Dhruv Bhatia

What You’ll Do:

Experimentation & Decision Science
  • Design and execute website A/B and multivariate tests across eCommerce touchpoints, delivering the full lifecycle independently from hypothesis definition to readout.
  • Translate ambiguous business questions into structured experimental frameworks — engage in hypothesis development, selecting metrics, sizing samples, and setting guardrails against premature decisions.
  • Apply causal inference and quasi-experimental methods (e.g., difference-in-differences, holdout groups) for decisions that can't be cleanly A/B tested.
  • Deliver concise experiment readouts that go beyond statistical significance to explain what changed, why it matters, and what to do next.
  • Establish success metrics and trade-off criteria upfront to align stakeholders and reduce post-hoc debate.
  • Identify when experimentation is the wrong tool and provide structured analytical alternatives when controlled testing isn't feasible.

Data Structuring & Analysis
  • Apply best practices in data structuring to ensure accuracy and consistency across systems.
  • Build and maintain analytical models that support key business decisions across moderately complex domains.
  • Work with large, sometimes messy datasets to produce analysis that is defensible, reproducible, and clearly scoped in its assumptions.

AI-Enabled Analytics & Agent Enablement
  • Drive the deployment of AI-powered analytics solutions — including Databricks Genie — that reduce manual analysis and surface insights faster for internal and customer-facing use cases.
  • Build and maintain AI agents and automated reporting pipelines, applying best practices for reliability, accuracy, and scalability.
  • Apply prompt engineering techniques to optimize model outputs, ensuring responses are consistent, trustworthy, and aligned with user expectations.
  • Support in designing guardrails and governance frameworks for AI tools, establishing clear boundaries around data access, output quality, and acceptable use.
  • Operationalize AI solutions on modern data platforms (Databricks, Claude, Gemini), actioning the journey from raw data to governed, consumable insight.
  • Document AI workflows, prompt templates, and guardrail configurations so solutions remain usable and maintainable across teams.
  • Monitor and adjust AI agent performance over time, flagging degradation in output quality and recommending adjustments to prompts, data inputs, or configurations.
Collaboration & Documentation
  • Build strong working relationships with internal and external partners to align analysis with business goals.
  • Collaborate across teams to identify opportunities and deliver clear, practical recommendations.
  • Maintain and improve SOPs to ensure consistency, efficiency, and knowledge sharing across the team.
  • Document data sources, transformation logic, and analytical assumptions to ensure analyses are reproducible and auditable.
Team Support & Development
  • Provide guidance and feedback to less experienced analysts when needed.
  • Contribute to team learning by sharing insights and raising the standard of analytical practice.
  • Actively develop skills to take on increasingly complex and ambiguous work.

Who You Are:

  • 3-5 years of professional experience as a Business Analyst with strong experience in Experimentation
  • Legally able to work in Canada (up to FULL TIME HOURS year-round/ no Student VISA)
  • Completion of a criminal background check
  • Tech skills:
    • Databricks, or similar
    • Basic SQL Knowledge: You can write SQL queries without using an LLM
    • AI literacy, you’ll be expected to go beyond prompting

Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Hiring:

At Article, we value authenticity and transparency in our hiring process. We want to get to know the real you, not an AI-generated version. Here are some guidelines around Artificial Intelligence in Hiring and what we expect from you.

From us, you can expect that humans make hiring decisions.

Criminal Background Checks:

Having a criminal record does not restrict your employment at Article. Criminal background checks are only conducted with your permission and after a conditional employment offer has been accepted.
The decision if a criminal record will restrict your employment will be made on a case-by-case basis, where we conduct an "individualized assessment"—a reasoned, evidence-based determination as to whether the applicant's past conviction has a direct and adverse relationship with the specific job duties of the position.
Work Authorization:
Unless otherwise stated, all open roles require legal authorization to work in the location where the job is based, without requiring VISA sponsorship.

For US-based roles, Article participates in E-Verify

Employment decisions are based on merit and business needs, and not on race, ethnic origin, color, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, marital status, family status, disability, genetic characteristics, personal beliefs, or any other classification protected by federal, state, provincial, and local laws and ordinances.
