• 5–7 years of experience in analytics, business intelligence, analytics engineering, finance analytics, or a related role.
• Advanced SQL expertise and strong analytical problem-solving skills.
• Experience with dbt and Git version control, including contributing production-ready code through standard development workflows.

• Experience creating dashboards (preferably Power BI) and communicating insights to non-technical audiences.
• Strong stakeholder management skills and the ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced environmen t.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting FP&A, commercial, revenue operations, or professional services analytics.
• Experience working in small or growing analytics teams with end-to-end ownership of analytical solutions.
• Ability to apply an 80/20 mindset to prioritize high-impact, pragmatic solutions.
• Experience using Python for automation and analytical workflows.
