Associate Business Analyst

About the Team and Role:

Founded in 2016 by a BCG consultant frustrated with his engagement ring buying experience, Rare Carat has grown to be one of the largest diamond jewelry online retailers in the United States. It was called the “Secret to Buying A Diamond” by the New York Times.

Rarecarat.com powers over $100m in annual sales by creating transparency in a historically opaque industry using AI indicators and human expert advice. Operating on an innovative "managed marketplace" business model, the company combines the selection advantages of a marketplace with the quality assurance of a traditional retailer.

We have grown to over 180+ employees, but remain a very flat and close-knit team committed to learning from each other, and having the best idea win.

Rare Carat is run by Wharton and Harvard Business School grads. Advisors include TrueCar’s founder, Blue Nile’s ex-CEO, Wharton’s Innovation Dean, and Richard Branson’s Venture Capital head. We have been featured in the New York Times, TechCrunch, NPR, USA Today, CNBC, among others.

Wondering why work with us? Here’s why:

1. We are a fully remote start-up, growing quickly from under 5 people to close to 180 in just six years
2. Our culture is unique: we have a global, remote team of young people taking on more responsibility than most companies would give. We have a bias for action, and a meritocracy where the best ideas win
3. We help customers with the most important purchase of their life so far, their engagement ring. Marrying humans and technology to help our customers make the right decision is thrilling and rewarding
4. If you are the right fit for our rocketship - we would make you an offer, you can’t refuse :)
