Serve asthetechnical analytics expert for the team

Pie charts make you cringe, you know that arc-lengths are imperceptible to the human eye, your visual vocabulary is deep. When you look at a business question you’re already thinking of the potential visualizations; You build dashboards in Tableau that are business use-case driven, answering specific business questions through thoughtfully designed visuals. Tableau is your comfort zone and your playground; You understand that it’s hard to imagine some dashboards, you use Figma and other tools to wireframe and align on stakeholder needs; You don’t just write SQL to build dashboards and answer business questions, you speak it as fluently as you do your first language. Queries that don’t execute under 5 mins are put into question, your code is uniform, well annotated, and elegant; You understand the value behind good data story telling, narrative, numbers, and how they are conveyed to your stakeholders is something you frequently consider when sharing insights; Closely collaborate with Analytics Engineers to understand data models and ensure insights are based on accurate, curated data layers;

Requirements

Analytics

You’ve built data solutions (dashboards, queries, data models) to answer key questions in the business, this is demonstrated by experience in calculating & measuring company KPIs, product funnels, user journeys, acquisition, churn, profitability metrics, and ROIs for multiple business units; You’re an expert in seeking, defining, and calculating metrics that run a business and making them available to all. Your experience is solidified by your ability to separate between a vanity metric and a KPI; You’re able to see the patterns and trends in data; you know what story it tells and how it correlates with the business. These patterns or insights are present regularly at all levels of management to influence decisions.

Stakeholder management

You think like a product/ business analyst when delivering insights by having a critical view of what a business partner needs to know to make a decision and drive an initiative; You’re biased to action and understand the need to consistently ship deliverables to stakeholders; You are an excellent communicator who loves explaining important insights in simple terms. You can synthesize multiple streams of data into actionable communication that will drive C-level decisions; You’re comfortable helping non-data people interpret data and passing on your skills so they can improve their data literacy.

Technicals

You know that just because a query is compiled, it doesn’t mean it’s done, you understand SQL & data retrieval concepts deeply enough to use query optimization engines to optimize the speed and accuracy of your results; You’ve deployed and scaled company-wide BI solutions that must consider technical BI concepts such as; dashboard performance, data governance, ETL processing, scalability, and security/access control. Experience in Looker and Tableau is preferred, and Power BI is a nice-to-have; You’ve deployed multiple centralized data models/ data marts and are familiar with the core concepts of data modeling such as; facts vs dimensions, entities, cardinality, normalization, relationships, Kimball vs. Inmon, and grain. Experience with DBT is preferred; You’ve regularly practiced concepts of business statistics with a focus on descriptive statistics, inferential statistics, probability distributions, time-series analysis, forecasting, and multivariate analysis. Bayesian and predictive analytics (decision trees and random forests) are nice-to-have.

Traits

When we say a “team player” we mean it - you have a crisp high-five and funny stories to tell. You have your team’s back, and the team has yours; You believe in a blameless culture, your version of problem-solving is finding the root cause, the best solution, and building it as a team; You love learning new things: You know that there’s always more to learn. You’re up-to-date on new trends in data – you know who’s using what to solve various problems and are excited for the next release of your favorite tool.  You make the time to cheer and enjoy the ride;
