Hi Jen -

I wanted to reach out to you because we have a new Analyst opening here at Vistaprint - we are ideally looking for someone who might have a year or two of analytics/consulting experience, but would also consider recent graduates.  That said, do you know any December grads who are looking or perhaps any former Thayer students who are unhappy in their current roles/looking for new opportunities?

I don't have an exact job description, but it is pretty in line with what we were looking for this *Fall. Also, the ideal candidate will have some SQL, SAS or SPSS experience. If you know anyone who might be a fit, please feel free to forward their resume along to me.

Thanks Jen!

Best,
Katie
