Sr Business Systems Analyst

Emeryville, CA, United States

Business Unit Description:

Here's what all the hype is about: Premier Nutrition Company (PNC) is one of the fastest-growing companies in the convenient nutrition space showing clear leadership in the category of protein shakes and protein powders. We make the brands Premier Protein, Dymatize , and PowerBar, which is sold internationally, and we are part of our holding company, BellRing Brands (NYSE: BRBR).

We have a simple, yet powerful, formula for our success, which weve been nailing for over 15 years. We start off with an organization powered by our company purpose Changing Lives with Good Energy . Then our purpose-driven people are given the support and autonomy to develop and grow. Next, we are super-intentional about designing a culture where everyone feels like they truly connect and belong , which is one of our five company core values. Purpose-driven, connected employees who are consistently mastering new skills deliver amazing business results. And winning companies with amazing people and thriving cultures attract and retain top talent, so the cycle becomes self-reinforcing or what we call our regenerative culture .

We dont mind sharing our formula since, as people who we believe in the power of changing lives with good energy , we think the world would be a better place if more workplaces treated adults like adults and gave them the platform to do the best work of their livesalongside some truly amazing colleagues. Why dont more companies do this? It takes deep-in-your-bones conviction to your people, products, and purpose to pull it off. It also takes resisting the urge to try to control people, and instead trusting them to make the right decisions. The results of our vibrant culture speaks for themselves: We were certified as a Great Place to Work for the 7 th year-running in 2023. And we currently rank #2 on Fortune Magazines Best Workplaces in our category, and in the top 12 for each of the last 5 years.

Heres the deal with our not-so-standard, ahemstandard interview process because we know you are the curious type, which is why youre still reading this

Quick 30 min phone chat with a member of our Talent Acquisition team to do a quick overview of your background and answer any burning questions you have

Team interviews are kept to a minimum to foster a more efficient, candidate-friendly process (too many interviewers yields little value and drags out the process for you

and who wants that?): A series of in-person or video interviews in a 1:1 setting; these are usually with the hiring manager, one or two other team members, and a person from another team to get broader perspectives (note: we dont do panel interviews because they dont give interviewers a chance to ask you unique questions, and we assign interviewers different roles so were probing different capabilities)

A case study or job task to simulate what youd actually be doing in the role (since your job is not actually to be interviewed for a living, so why is that the thing companies rely on so much? Yes, there will be a small panel for this one so you dont have to do it more than once, and yes, they might ask you some kind yet probing questions at the end after the applause stops.

Once your interview concludes, the team will meet for an in-depth consultative process to ensure we are hiring the right person for the right job. Interviewers must come in with a strong yes or no vote beforehand to avoid groupthink with supporting reasons. The collective thoughts on your candidacy will be discussed in an environment of safety to challenge ideas respectfully, debate. and be open to all important qualifications of the candidates. A trained, disinterested bias blocker will be present to help mitigate bias so the team can make a sound hiring decision. The moment of truth arrives when the hiring manager makes the big decision. If you nailed the interviews and the case study was brilliant, guess what? The offer is all yours! And the ball is in your court. Will you accept? We sure hope so because this place is the real deal, and dont just believe usjust ask the 93% of our people who said this is a great place to work in our most recent employee survey.
