We are working with Vermont Country Store in their search for a Customer Insights Analyst based in Manchester, VT (seen here):
HARRY’S COMMENTS: We have worked with this client on several occasions, and I am always impressed with their love of the customer and passion for the direct-to-consumer marketing space. DTC marketing is in this company’s DNA: They think about it. They talk about it. They joke about it. They love everything about it. For a Customer Insights Analyst, there’s no better place to be, as practically everyone at VCS has a teachable point of view on DTC marketing research, along with a genuine desire to take the company’s game to the next level. The culture is all about rigorous debate and intelligent, hypothesis-driven experimentation.
On any given day at VCS, you might huddle with your colleagues about how customers are scored based on their catalog and non-catalog responsiveness. Or, you might find yourself in a meeting about how VCS’ customers are migrating from traditional channels to digital ones. Or, you might be assigned to a task force to review how customers are segmented based on channel and merchandise preference. The fact is, direct marketing has always been “all about the math,” so it follows that any analyst worth her salt will feel right at home at VCS, where there’s nothing as devastating to an opinion as a number.
