Job description

Cardata is where driven people make an outsized impact. We’re a small but mighty team transforming how businesses manage vehicle reimbursement — replacing outdated programs with smart, automated solutions.

Our vision is bold: to provide the most comprehensive, intelligent, and automated software and services for creating ideal vehicle programs. And we’re building toward that vision every single day.

Join us and you’ll find challenge, growth, and the chance to deliver real impact — helping hundreds of companies and thousands of drivers across North America focus on the work that matters most to them.

We’re searching for a Junior Data Analyst to turn raw data into accurate, useful reports and dashboards for our customers and internal teams. You’ll help stakeholders understand their data, answer questions, and find ways to make reporting more efficient through reusable templates and automation.

Reporting to the Senior Manager of DevOps, Data, you’ll work alongside an experienced data team while taking ownership of the reports you deliver—from understanding the underlying question to validating the final results. This is an individual contributor role with support, feedback, and opportunities to develop your skills.

What You’ll Do

• Build and maintain customer-facing dashboards and custom reports that meet agreed requirements and delivery timelines.
• Work with customers and internal stakeholders to understand the problem behind each request and shape reports that answer the right questions.
• Answer ad hoc data questions using SQL, and explain your findings clearly to non-technical audiences.
• Own the quality of every report you build. Validate data, check calculations, and resolve issues before sharing results with a customer or stakeholder.
• Choose effective approaches to writing queries and designing reports within our BI tools and team standards.
• Document report logic and metric definitions so your work is clear, consistent, and easy to maintain.
• Identify recurring requests, build reusable report templates, and automate manual reporting tasks.
• Improve how report requests are handled and bring larger process improvements to the team.
• Partner with the data team for reviews and guidance as you build your understanding of our data.

In your first 30 days, you’ll get set up on our BI tools, deliver your first reports for review, and agree on measures and targets with your manager. Within three months, you’ll independently build and maintain customer-facing reports, validate every report before release, and identify opportunities for templating or automation. Within six months, you’ll develop a deep understanding of our internal data schema and take ownership of the end-to-end reporting process.

Your initial focus will be reporting. The data team owns the underlying pipelines and warehouse, with opportunities to grow into that work over time.

What You Bring

• 1–2 years of experience in an analytics role, internship, or equivalent project work.
• Strong working knowledge of SQL, including joins, aggregations, CTEs, and window functions.
• A bachelor’s degree in a quantitative field such as statistics, mathematics, economics, computer science, or engineering—or equivalent experience.
• A strong understanding of descriptive statistics, including averages, distributions, percentages, and sampling.
• Experience with a BI tool such as ThoughtSpot, Looker, or Power BI. ThoughtSpot experience is preferred.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel or other spreadsheet tools.
• Strong attention to detail. You check your numbers, proactively identify issues, and take responsibility for the accuracy of your work.
• An interest in making reporting more efficient by turning repeated work into reusable templates or automated reports.
• Clear verbal and written communication, including the ability to explain data and findings to non-technical audiences.
• Exposure to data pipelines and dbt; data warehouses such as Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, or Redshift; version control tools such as GitHub or GitLab; or data model design patterns is a plus.

Why you’ll love working at Cardata:

We’ll be honest — Cardata isn’t for everyone. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, take extreme ownership, and constantly push yourself (and your work) to be the best, you’ll fit right in.

You’ll be surrounded by driven teammates who genuinely care — about the work, about our customers, and about helping each other succeed. Together, we take on ambitious goals and celebrate the wins along the way.

What we offer in return for you bringing your best:

• Remote work and flexible working hours
• Mentorship and development opportunities (to help you achieve your career goals!)
• Extended medical & dental benefits
• Healthcare spending account
• $3,000 annual Health and Wellness Spending Account to support your overall wellbeing
