- Lead complex, high-visibility deep dives & analyses that drive business decisions and process or product improvements, particularly around our go-to-market motion.
- Be a strategic thought partner to cross-functional stakeholders by identifying opportunities, shaping hypotheses, and delivering actionable insights.
- Design and maintain scalable data models, AI-powered analytic tools, and analytics infrastructure (using BigQuery, dbt, and Omni) to empower self-serve analytics.
- Drive clarity in measurement and metrics definitions, helping teams understand what is happening in the business and what they can do to improve it.
- Promote a culture of data excellence through mentorship, documentation, and training.
- Contribute to team strategy, project prioritization, and the continuous evolution of analytics best practices.
- 5+ years of experience in a data analytics role, preferably in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
- Demonstrated experience in marketing analytics.
- Proficiency in SQL is essential. Knowledge of Python, a plus.
- Hands-on experience with modern data analytics stack (e.g. Airbyte, BigQuery, dbt, Hex, Omni, or equivalents), data modeling best practices.
- Experience with AI tools (e.g Claude Code, Codex)
- Strong communication and storytelling skills.
- Deeply curious with a drive to learn.
- Pragmatic. Looking for real world business impact, not a science project.
- A collaborative and empathetic mindset with experience supporting and leveling up your peers.
