We can offer huge amounts of data to work with: 5 million users every week contribute to an endless supply of data and insights. Every week, every day, all year long.Your mission, together with the rest of the Insight & Analytics team, is to collaboratively drive a data-first culture across Blocket. With such a mission we contribute to endless opportunities for everyone while at the same time reducing the carbon footprint for the people of Sweden. That is creating WOW!
We are Blocket, Sweden’s largest and most popular marketplace with around 12,3M monthly active users generating 100 million sessions. We are proud of our work to enable second-hand trade in Sweden and our contribution to a positive environmental impact.

In the Insight & Analytics team you will analyze transactional, user behavior and traffic data to manage our performance, drive our development of products and features and inform decision making. In short - make sure we can grow our marketplace based on data.
For this particular role we’re searching for someone who is keen on working with a wide variety of products across the whole organization, is comfortable with working independently and has a drive to spread a data-driven mindset.

As a Data Analyst, you will support and work closely in cross-functional teams with colleagues from Finance, Product, UX/Design, Marketplaces and Developers - pretty much everyone. We contribute and work close to the heartbeat of our Business. You will perform analysis on large sets of data to extract actionable insights that will help drive decisions across the business - in discovery and ideation work. Since we are an essential part of almost everything going on in Blocket, being very infectious with your data driven mindset is key to keep all parts of Blocket aligned.

Hello from you Manager!
My name is Monika and I've been at Blocket for 2 years now. I'm working closely with Generalist Area, focusing mainly on analysis of our Marketplace, seller journey and shipping solutions we offer. In my role I also strive to create best possible conditions for Data Analysts, support prioritization and try to remove any operational obstacles in daily work.
I have been working with data analysis for about 10 years now in various industries and departments - from sales analysis in FMCG to BI development in Fintech. I graduated as a mathematician and am still fascinated by how a theoretically complex and tedious area has developed into a fascinating and value adding field throughout the years!
When not working, I'll probably be out somewhere running or cycling long distances, travelling around the world (well, hopefully soon again) or enjoying a book and a cup of coffee.
Hello from your co-worker!
Hello, I am Daniel! I have worked with data collection, measurement, and digital analysis for the last two years in the Insight and Analytics Team. We will work together as part of the Marketplace Foundations Area.
In our area, we can affect many sides of Blocket and collaborate with many different teams with different responsibilities. It is never boring and packed with action. I hope you like to expand your knowledge and are comfortable working at the edge of the unknown. We support each other and provide feedback to improve constantly. I hope you would be happy to share, collaborate and learn.
