Whether you’ve worked as a Data Analyst or you’re an operations pro with a data edge, you’ll find the perfect balance here between technical challenge and business influence.

This isn’t a back-office reporting role. You’ll be at the heart of our Customer teams, embedded with Account Management and Customer Success leaders, surfacing insights that shape strategy, spot growth opportunities, and remove friction in how we work. Your analyses won’t sit on a shelf, they’ll directly drive action, unlock scale, and supercharge team performance.

Partner up

Work closely with our Customer Success & Account Management leaders to identify where we can improve customer journeys and internal operations.

️ Support the engine room

Collaborate with our Customer Success ops and automation leads to build systems, join up tools, and make ops smoother.

Present with impact

Confidently share your findings in team deep dives and leadership forums, your insights will shape real decisions.

Skills, Knowledge and Expertise

SQL Proficiency

You’re fluent in SQL and know how to use it to interrogate databases, build queries, and surface key trends.

You’re no stranger to a VLOOKUP, pivot table, or nested formula. Excel is your sidekick.

Stats, patterns, anomalies, you’ve got a sharp analytical brain and love digging into data.

️ Soft Skills

You can clearly explain your findings to senior stakeholders, even if they’re not data experts.

High EQ ️

You know how to read a room, build trust, and adapt your style to different personalities and contexts.
