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, as a Delivery Manager (Business Analytics), you will play a crucial role in enabling our Business Analytics & Insights (BIA) teams (pictured above with the finance team) to deliver high-impact insights, reporting, and data products that support data-driven decision-making across the organization.
*Please note this is a fixed-term role for a 15-month duration (mat leave coverage) Why We Need You:
Within the BIA department, your responsibilities will span the full agile delivery lifecycle, from backlog refinement and sprint planning through execution, review, and continuous improvement. You will partner closely with BIA leadership, technical-focused analysts, and cross-functional stakeholders to ensure analytics initiatives are well-scoped, prioritized, and delivered effectively.
You will be providing support to the whole company. The breakdown of resource allotment for each function looks like:
Retail (eComm/Brick and Mortar)/Category Management = 30% Supply Chain = 30% Logistics = 30% Other Functions = 10%
This role is critical in helping analytics teams navigate dependencies, balance exploratory work with delivery commitments, and continuously improve how analytics work gets done.
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.
