FreeWill is an award-winning, social-good startup that has raised more than $3 billion for high impact nonprofits since we were founded in 2017. We’ve been featured in the New York Times, Forbes, Oprah’s magazine, and have even been named to Town &Country’s “Top 50 Philanthropists” list.
All of this is because we’ve figured out how to make some powerful (but complicated!) ways to donate much easier and more accessible. Our products make things easier for the donors who want to change the world and for nonprofits doing heroic work around the planet.
In the last 4 years, we’ve grown from 5 people to 95+ (all smart, tenacious, and kind), and continue to grow quickly. We’d love to have you be a part of this adventure.
About the Role
FreeWill is seeking a Data Analyst to help develop our data strategy and deliver insights across our nonprofit customer success, marketing, operations, and product-engineering teams. This is a full-time position in a company with an office in NYC -- although you are free to work however remote you desire.
The role will work closely with the Business Intelligence Manager and will play an integral role in continuing to establish FreeWill’s thought leadership in the nonprofit space, mining the biggest bequest database in existence to help all nonprofits fundraise more effectively, and understanding what makes people most likely to create estate plans and donate.
Expected Responsibilities:
Primary responsibility? To meaningfully analyze and transform data into findings that can improve the value of the business.
How? This role will involve executing analyses while keeping an eye to the north star of impactful strategy. This will include, but not be limited to:

- Surfacing user and nonprofit insights, and present those insights to a variety of levels within the organization to influence change
- Helping optimize Looker, our user and nonprofit data portal by thinking through design, definitions, maintenance, automation, and reporting
- Working closely with our customer success team to understand donor behavior on FreeWill, and surface insights to help improve our nonprofit clients’ success with fundraising through our products
- Engaging with Growth &Marketing by taking point on analyzing data for reports compiled by FreeWill to guide thought leadership in the non-profit giving space
- Assisting Operations &Product-Engineering on analyses related to data efficiencies of the business &product performance
- Influencing the scope, detail, and frequency of data that is collected for enhancements and new products from a business perspective
- Becoming an expert in the FreeWill product and the broader nonprofit planned giving landscape
