• Self-directed, comfortable owning projects end-to-end with minimal supervision
• Exposure to SQL and/or BI tools (Power BI, Looker, or similar) is a plus

Nice to Have

• Experience in a SaaS or subscription-based business
• Strong process improvement mindset, with a natural inclination to identify inefficiencies and automate manual work
• Experience in a lean, high-growth, or scale-up environment

Compensation and Perks:

• Healthcare, Dental, Vision, Life Insurance, FSA, HSA Matching, 401K Matching, and Commuter Benefits
• PTO (Paid-time-off), paid sick days, and paid holidays
• Employee Assistance Program: 3 X 1-hour telehealth calls with certified mental health professionals
• $100 towards a work-from-home office setup
• Evolve in a nice working atmosphere with a passionate, growing team!
