You will partner with Marketing, Sales, Operations, Strategy, and other teams to understand business needs, scope analytical work, and turn customer and business data into clear insights and practical recommendations. This role focuses on delivering insights and decision support while collaborating with data and technology teams as needed. You will work hands‑on with SQL, Python, Snowflake, and business intelligence tools, and use approved AI tools to improve the speed and quality of analysis, coding, synthesis, and communication.

Responsibilities

• Partner with stakeholders to understand business goals, clarify analytical needs, and translate broad questions into focused analyses, metrics, and deliverables
• Analyze customer behavior, product usage, engagement, retention, marketing performance, and operational outcomes
• Use SQL, Python, Snowflake, visualization tools, and appropriate analytical methods to answer business questions
• Build and maintain dashboards, reports, and reusable analyses that support decision-making
• Identify trends, risks, and opportunities and translate findings into clear, practical recommendations
• Communicate insights through visualizations, written narratives, presentations, and discussions tailored to technical and nontechnical audiences

• Bachelor’s degree, professional credential, or equivalent practical experience in a quantitative, analytical, business, or related discipline
• Strong SQL skills and experience independently querying, combining, validating, and analyzing data in Snowflake or a comparable platform

The Ideal Candidate

You are curious, analytical, and comfortable working with both data and people. You can move from an unclear business question to a focused analysis, explain your reasoning, and communicate what the data means in practical terms. You are hands‑on with analytical tools and use AI as a standard part of getting work done. You understand that AI can improve speed and quality, while judgment, validation, and clear communication remain your responsibility.
