Launch Program Associate | RVPR

Skip the entry-level grunt‑work and start making a real impact on Day 1. The Launch Program is your opportunity to onboard into your full‑time role at Red Ventures in a cohort‑style environment that gives in‑depth training around RV’s beliefs, culture, business model and leadership. Your first few weeks in training will be alongside a cross‑functional cohort group of new RV employees starting their careers across all roles and teams.

These individuals will become your built‑in support system and community as you navigate the start of your career at Red Ventures.

After your initial onboarding period you’ll join one of RV’s teams, meet your manager and mentor, and find unparalleled opportunities to make a substantial impact and quickly advance your career. You will also receive ongoing learning and development opportunities over the first year of your career with the goal of leveling up in two years with strong performance.

The Launch Program is NOT a rotational program or training role that could end in a job offer. It’s a true full‑time role that gives you the Red Ventures 101 before turning you loose to dive in and make a measurable impact on your team!

What You’ll Do:

• This is a highly visible role with significant impact on a multi‑million‑dollar team.
• As an Associate you’ll be placed into one of our functional groups such as building products, operating a P&L, driving customer acquisition or managing external partnerships (note: functional placements depend on business need and candidate skill alignment and are assigned post‑hire). You’ll also work to bridge the gap between our vast data landscape and impactful business solutions. Your focus will be both on the technical side as well as the application of your solutions in a real business context.
• Translate complex business problems into clear, measurable projects. You’ll see the big picture but also dive into details to uncover new opportunities for growth and optimization.
• Leverage data processing tools to manipulate large datasets to create data‑based solutions. You won’t just build models and products; you’ll also interpret and explain outputs to non‑technical stakeholders.
• Build models to analyze current trends and areas for business opportunity.
• You’ll be expected to stay close to the cutting edge in places like deep learning and generative AI to identify how emerging technology can be deployed to solve business problems in ways we haven’t imagined before.
• You’ll have access to mentors to help in your growth and development, and you’ll get the opportunity to present your work to your business and leadership.
• Above all else you’ll be the owner of your work and the projects that you’re responsible for. The insights you glean and the strategy you drive will be all up to you*

What We’re Looking For:

• Graduating in Winter 2025 or Spring 2026
• Start date with our Summer 2026 cohort
• Foundational analytics toolkit – data extraction, manipulation and visualizations (e.g., Excel, SQL, Tableau)
• Experience with leveraging statistical methods to drive data‑driven recommendations and decision‑making
• A demonstrated track record of success academically or in prior internships with experience proactively taking ownership of important projects
• Demonstrated ability to drive decisions and behavior changes through analytical capabilities and data‑driven solutions and the ability to measure and analyze the impact of these solutions
• Scrappy, tenacious and self‑motivated
• Also a team player with no ego, a competitive spirit and great sense of humor
• Passionate about working in a dynamic, fast‑paced, performance‑driven environment
• Strong sense of self‑awareness and a steady commitment to get better every day
• Great sense of humor (yes it’s worth saying twice)
