Junior Catalog Analyst

About the Company

Hoodie Analytics supports cannabis brands, consumers, and retailers with a comprehensive suite of analytics, apps, and data-enabled services that provide marketplace intelligence on sales, distribution, price, and promotion. Data is at the core of our business; we maintain the largest database of cannabis activity, held to the highest standards of quality and accuracy.

About the Role

This is an early-career position built for someone who is detail-oriented, curious, and eager to develop deep expertise in cannabis data. You’ll report directly to the Lead Catalog Analyst and work alongside a small, collaborative team of analysts focused on data standardization and enrichment.

Our Junior Analysts focus on one of two areas: cannabis product data (brands, SKUs, attributes, and categorization) or dispensary and menu data (dispensary profiles, menu accuracy, and listing consistency). The underlying skills are the same across both tracks. Your specific focus area will be determined based on team needs at the time of hire.

Day-to-day, you’ll help clean, categorize, and validate data drawn from sources like dispensary menus, POS systems, and wholesale databases. AI tools are part of how our team works. You’ll be expected to use them, experiment with them, and help us find smarter ways to get things done. Over time, you’ll build the skills and product knowledge to grow into a Lead Analyst role.
