Job Summary

Toptal is looking for a senior-level Business Analyst to provide business leaders with crucial insights and recommendations for improvement. The role is part of our Business Analytics Center of Excellence, where analysts are assigned to support one or more business functions. This role will specifically work with new businesses, from structuring their data infrastructure to developing reports that support their business leaders in making data-driven decisions. Are you passionate about playing a critical role as a strategic advisor to business functions and leaders? If so, we encourage you to apply! This person will use data, create and define metrics, measure performance, and develop reports. They will also build models, forecast outcomes, run experiments, and perform in-depth diagnostic analysis.

Ultimate success goes beyond data-related activities and delivers the “so what” that drives decisions and real business impact. It is imperative to fully understand the business (processes, objectives, organization, performance drivers, barriers), and connect the dots between data analysis, business strategy, financial and operational effectiveness. We are looking for someone who is excited about seeing the bigger picture to make cross-functional connections in business processes, financial performance, and data. We expect that we not only answer the question asked, but also the question that was not. This Business Analyst needs to build positive relationships across the organization and have a “find a way” attitude.

This is a remote position. We do not offer visa sponsorship or assistance. Resumes and communication must be submitted in English.
