Are you someone who thrives on helping others succeed, enjoys making an impact, and takes pride in guiding customers to the right solutions for their projects? If you’re also naturally curious and eager to keep learning, consider starting or growing your career with us at The Home Depot.

Position

Purpose:

Can you find exactly why a number moved, then explain it to a merchant and an analytics engineer in the same afternoon? That’s everyday work for our Decision Analytics team in Finance. We build the data products, scorecards, and AI tools that finance and merchandising leaders across The Home Depot Canada rely on. And we do it in a company built on strong relationships and respect for all people.

In this role, you will own the analytics behind key finance and merchandising decisions, from markdowns and clearance to store performance. You will run complex reporting workflows, advise partners on test design, and turn results into recommendations they act on. We’re hiring at the Insights Analyst or Senior Insights Analyst level, depending on experience; senior hires work more independently and lead product ownership.
