• Conduct exploratory data analysis using SQL to validate assumptions, assess data availability, and identify data quality issues
• Collaborate with data engineers, analytics engineers, BI developers, and AI/ML practitioners to ensure business logic is accurately reflected in delivered solutions
• Facilitate discovery sessions, requirements workshops, stakeholder interviews, and cross-functional alignment meetings
• Create and maintain documentation including business requirements documents, process flows, metric definitions, test scenarios, and decision logs
• Support Agile delivery by writing user stories, documenting acceptance criteria, and participating in sprint planning and prioritization
• Identify gaps between stakeholder expectations, available data, and technical feasibility; proactively communicate risks and tradeoffs
• Support user acceptance testing and promote consistent use of data definitions and standardized analytics practices

• Experience with data visualization tools such as Tableau, Power BI, or equivalent
• Understanding of data warehousing concepts (tables, views, dimensions, facts, grain)
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple workstreams and follow through on commitments
