Job description

About the Role

We’re looking for a highly skilled and motivated Senior Data Analyst join our Data & Analytics team, with a focus on end-to-end reporting workflows and BI tools. This role is ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of raw data engineering, thoughtful data modeling, and user-centric visualization in BI tools.

You will be responsible for extracting data from a variety of sources, transforming it into analytical models via tools like dbt, and building impactful dashboards and reports in Looker. This role supports multiple teams — including Product, Operations, and Revenue — and will play a key part in democratizing data through robust pipelines and intuitive visualizations.

We’re looking for someone who brings a strong sense of ownership over data workflows and proactively identifies opportunities to improve data quality, engineering processes, and reporting infrastructure. You won’t just build what’s asked — you’ll ask what’s missing and lead the charge to fill the gaps.

This role will be based in Toronto, CA or San Francisco, CA. In-office required at least 1 day per week.

What You’ll Do

• Own and maintain end-to-end data workflows, from extraction to modeling to dashboard delivery.
• Lead efforts in building robust, self-serve data experiences in Looker as a platform expert, including LookML development and dashboard design.
• Work across data ingestion tools (primarily Fivetran) to pull raw data into our warehouse.
• Build and manage data models in dbt, ensuring clean and reliable layers for reporting and analysis.
• Proactively identify engineering and data integrity issues, propose solutions, and lead fixes — not just as a builder, but as a steward of high-quality data systems.
• Support reporting continuity across systems migrations (e.g., WooCommerce → Shopify) and multi-source reconciliation (Salesforce, Netsuite, etc.).

Technical Requirements

• Expert in Looker, including LookML development, data exploration, and dashboard optimization.
• Strong SQL skills, with experience developing in dbt or equivalent transformation tools.
• Familiar with data ingestion and orchestration tools such as Fivetran, Airflow, or similar.
• Ability to debug data issues across pipeline layers (source → staging → model → dashboard).
• Ownership mentality with demonstrated ability to improve data systems without being prompted.
• Excellent documentation and stakeholder communication practices.

Experience & Background

• 4–6 years of experience in data analytics, BI development, or data engineering in a fast-paced environment.
• Experience supporting multiple stakeholders across Sales, Marketing, Product, or Operations.
• Prior experience working with data from tools like Shopify, Salesforce, Klaviyo, Netsuite, and Rudderstack is a plus.
• Self-starter who thrives in ambiguity and takes initiative to improve underlying systems and data access.
• Exposure to event tracking and customer journey analysis (e.g., using Rudderstack or similar CDPs).
• Experience with cross-system data reconciliation (e.g., reconciling sales data across Shopify, Salesforce, Netsuite, …).
• Familiarity with email and paid media platforms (e.g., Klaviyo, Meta, Google Ads).

Why You’ll Love This Role

• You’ll own critical reporting infrastructure at the heart of our business.
• You’ll empower business teams to act confidently and quickly using high-quality data.
• You’ll be a trusted expert in BI tooling and a key contributor to scalable data systems in a collaborative, data-empowered culture.
