Job description

Overview

We’re looking for a Senior Analyst of Data & Analytics to join our team.

This is a hybrid role: part business translator, part hands-on analyst. You’ll lead client conversations, frame problems, and design solutions, while also writing SQL, shaping data models, and designing data solutions in partnership with our engineering team.

You’ll collaborate closely with our data engineering team to bring solutions to life, ensuring clients not only get clean data, but also actionable insights.

This role is ideal for someone who has led analytics workstreams end-to-end: from stakeholder discovery, to SQL/dbt modeling, to delivering reporting and insights. Over time, you’ll grow into owning full project delivery, scaling frameworks across the company, and contributing to Data Culture’s external brand by sharing your perspectives, learnings, and ideas.

You’ll also get exposure to many different types of companies, tech stacks, and business teams from finance, marketing, growth, executive, and more while working with modern tools to deliver impact.

What You’ll Do

• Lead analytics workstreams as the main point of contact, growing into full project ownership.
• Lead discovery sessions and translate needs into clear specs.
• Write SQL, validate data, and guide model design with engineers.
• Wireframe dashboards and collaborate on BI builds (Sigma, Looker, Power BI, Omni).
• Maintain documentation and reusable frameworks.

What We’re Looking For

Experience

• 3 - 6 years in data, analytics, or consulting roles.
• Strong SQL: you’re comfortable querying large datasets and debugging logic.
• Familiarity with dbt or similar transformation tools a plus; able to specify and validate model logic.
• Proven ability to deliver clear reporting and business insights to stakeholders.
• Exposure to modern data stack (Snowflake/BigQuery/Redshift, Git workflows, cloud platforms).

Skills & Mindset

• Curious & always learning — you seek out new tools, ideas, and ways to solve problems.
• Framework-driven — you simplify complexity and design clear approaches.
• Scales expertise — you codify methods, document logic, and mentor others.
• Proactive & collaborative — easy to work with, takes initiative, communicates clearly.
• Extreme accountability — owns outcomes, flags risks early, and follows through.
• Resilient & growth-minded — thrives when projects or clients are tough; uses challenges as learning.
• Executive presence — earns trust, leads conversations, and helps stakeholders make confident decisions.
