• Cross-functional partners view the analyst as a thought partner with strong technical depth and product judgment.

What You’ll Do:

• Own the end-to-end analytics lifecycle for priority questions and initiatives, including problem definition, data discovery, metric design, analysis, and recommendations.
• Design, build, and maintain reliable data pipelines, datasets, and analytical models that support recurring insights and self-service reporting.
• Write advanced and efficient SQL to transform, join, validate, and analyze large and complex datasets.
• Apply product analytics techniques to understand user behavior, adoption, engagement, retention, funnel performance, and operational outcomes.
• Translate ambiguous business and product questions into structured analyses, hypotheses, measurement plans, and clear decisions.
• Partner with product, engineering, operations, and other cross-functional teams to define success metrics and establish trusted sources of truth.
• Develop and improve Looker dashboards and reporting to ensure visualizations are useful, accurate, documented, and actionable.
• Investigate data quality issues, reconcile discrepancies, and establish validation practices that improve confidence in reporting and insights.
• Identify opportunities to automate repetitive analytics and operational workflows, including providing analytical input to tools built with n8n and Databricks.
• Present findings to technical and non-technical audiences, clearly communicating implications, limitations, trade-offs, and recommended actions.
• Mentor peers, share analytical best practices, and contribute to standards for data modeling, documentation, metric definitions, and reusable analysis.

Who You Are:

• You have strong SQL skills, including complex joins, common table expressions, window functions, aggregations, query optimization, and data validation.
• You have experience building or maintaining data pipelines, analytical datasets, or transformations used by downstream stakeholders.
• You have experience in product, business, or operational analytics and can turn analysis into clear recommendations.
• You have a strong understanding of analytical concepts such as metric design, cohort analysis, funnel analysis, segmentation, experimentation fundamentals, and root-cause analysis.
• You are comfortable working with incomplete information, asking the right questions, and creating clarity in ambiguous problem spaces.
• You communicate effectively and can explain analytical findings and limitations to non-technical audiences.
• You demonstrate ownership from problem definition through delivery, adoption, and ongoing improvement.
• You hold a bachelor’s degree in analytics, data science, statistics, computer science, business, economics, or a related field. Equivalent practical experience may be considered.
• Experience with Databricks or a comparable cloud data platform.
• Experience with Looker or another modern business intelligence and semantic-layer platform.
• Experience with workflow automation tools such as n8n, or a demonstrated interest in improving analytics and operations through automation.

• Experience partnering with product managers, designers, engineers, or operations leaders in a product environment.
• Familiarity with the organization’s internal product suite, tools, or workflows.
• Experience improving analytics standards, mentoring analysts, or influencing cross-functional decisions without direct authority.
• You are deeply curious and enjoy getting to the root of a problem.
• You hold a high bar for data quality and are comfortable challenging assumptions respectfully.
• You balance technical rigor with pragmatism and know when a simple solution is the right solution.
• You communicate early, document decisions, and make your work reusable for others.
• You are comfortable operating independently while actively building alignment with partners.
