What you will do

You will design and build trusted data models across Lighthouse's commercial and financial domains — modeling deals, accounts, and opportunities for go-to-market teams, and supporting revenue, retention, and churn analysis for finance — while owning delivery end-to-end from requirements through implementation and documentation, using AI tools responsibly to accelerate your work while remaining accountable for output quality, and collaborating closely with commercial, finance, and analytics stakeholders.

• Financial insight: support analysis of revenue, customer lifetime value, retention, expansion, and churn.

• Data modeling quality: apply strong SQL, transformation, and data modeling practices to produce maintainable, understandable assets.
• Business-to-technical translation: turn stakeholder requirements into practical solutions that fit the existing stack, owning the full cycle (functional analysis, solution design, implementation, testing, documentation, and ongoing improvement).
• Responsible AI use: apply AI to coding, solution design, and problem-solving, critically reviewing outputs and owning the final result.
• Foundation for advanced analytics: build reliable data foundations that support strategic analytics and AI-enabled products (agentic frameworks, RAG, conversational analytics) without owning their development directly.
• Cross-functional collaboration: work with sales operations, commercial systems, financial operations, and analytics colleagues to align on data needs and technical direction.

Lighthouse's Data Analytics team is the backbone of how we understand our own business. We partner directly with department stakeholders to turn internal company data into the insights that guide decision-making at every level, from quarterly planning to board-level strategy.

• Impactful work: Shape products relied on by 85,000+ users worldwide.
• Competitive compensation: Proactively maintained to value your work.
• Flexible working environment: Work from home or at one of our global offices.
• Flexible time off: Autonomy to manage your work-life balance.
• 401k matching: Up to 4%.
• Health insurance: Two Blue Cross Blue Shield plans with 99% company contribution to the base plan and 75% for dependents and spouses, plus $25/month to HSA.
• Vision and Dental Insurance: Dental Buy-up plan option, 50% company contributions to premiums for both employees, dependents and spouses.
• Employee Assistance Program: 100% confidential and free.
• Employer paid Short Term Disability + $50,000 Life Insurance.

• Wellbeing support: Subsidized up to 80% ClassPass subscription.
• Referral bonus: Earn rewards for bringing in new talent.

Who you are

• You have senior-level experience in analytics engineering, data warehousing, or a closely related role and can operate independently with limited overlap across time zones.
• You have strong SQL skills and hands-on experience building robust, understandable data models.
• You have practical experience with dbt or another data transformation tool.
• You understand core data warehousing principles and can architect models across commercial and financial domains.
• You can gather requirements, perform functional analysis, and translate stakeholder questions into technical solutions.
• You can work directly with both technical and non-technical leaders, adapting your communication to be concise and clear.
• You have basic Python scripting skills or can critically review scripts produced with artificial intelligence assistance.
• You use AI effectively and thoughtfully: You use AI in your day-to-day as a supporting and enhancing tool during development, review, documentation and presentation processes.
• In doing so, you question outputs, handle data with care and always remain accountable for your work.
• You understand the capabilities and limitation of your AI tools and can provide clear and structured feedback on them.
• You understand how reliable data foundations support agentic frameworks, retrieval-augmented generation, or conversational analytics, even if you have not built those systems yourself.
• You are comfortable supporting colleagues and explaining technical needs across teams without needing to formally manage them.
