Subject: Chicago, IL or Ann Arbor, MI, USA: Sr. Web Analyst at Fry, Inc.

Department: User Experience Group
Reports to: Managing Director / Director of User Experience Group

Fry Inc., an e-Commerce leader, is seeking 2 Senior Data Analysts for immediate openings in our suburban Chicago or Ann Arbor, Michigan locations.

Fry is an Equal Opportunity Employer. Equal as in we all have a chance to be brilliant, and we all have a chance to rinse out our own coffee mugs. We prefer working with folks who will do both on a regular basis. Opportunity as in you can make your voice heard. You can learn. You can teach. And the most amazing things happen when you do all three. Most companies put the equal opportunity blurb in fine print at the bottom of an ad because of the law. We boldly state it at the top because we wouldn't be who we are without a belief in the infinite potential of our employees.

In addition to providing opportunity, we provide some pretty tangible compensation for your brains and brawn. Competitive salaries, great benefits including medical/dental/vision, 401(k) to name a few. Which is not to mention a casual yet dynamic work environment, high-profile projects, cutting-edge technologies, and a chance to work with people who are just as smart and passionate as you are.
