Job Description
• Reporting to our Director of BI & Analytics, you will join our data team as a key internal consultant and technical expert. Whether you are a seasoned architect or a rising talent in the analytics space, your primary mission is the same: to move beyond simple reporting and transform complex data into compelling data stories.
• This is a high-impact role where technical rigor meets design strategy. You will serve as the bridge between our data infrastructure and our stakeholders, owning the end-to-end data lifecycle. This includes architecting scalable data models and ELT pipelines, as well as partnering directly with business lines to build polished, intuitive Tableau dashboards.
• If you are a versatile professional who enjoys both writing complex Python/SQL transformation logic and crafting data stories that answer the "so what?" for leadership, we encourage you to apply.
• What you'll do: Visualization & Storytelling
• Tableau Design: Design and build highly interactive dashboards that guide users through a clear narrative flow. You don’t just display data; you highlight trends, anomalies, and actionable insights.
• UX/UI Strategy: Apply design best practices (layout, color theory, pre-attentive attributes) to ensure dashboards are intuitive, consistent, and reduce cognitive load.
• Performance Tuning: Proactively monitor and optimize both SQL queries and Tableau workbooks to ensure fast load times and a seamless user experience.
• Data Engineering & Architecture
• Data Modeling: Own the design and optimization of dimensional data models (Star Schemas) in BigQuery to create a clean, accessible, and performant "semantic layer" for analytics.
• Pipeline Development: Design, build, and maintain scalable ELT / ETL pipelines (using SQL, Python, and orchestration tools) to transform raw data into analytics-ready datasets.
• Data Quality & Governance: Establish and advocate for data integrity by implementing automated testing, validation frameworks, and consistent metric definitions.
• Strategy & Consultation
• Internal Consulting: Act as a trusted advisor to stakeholders. Translate vague business questions into strict technical requirements and analytical stories that get to the root of the problem.
• Mentorship: Foster a culture of data literacy by mentoring business users on dashboard interpretation and training junior analysts on SQL best practices.
• Documentation: Maintain clear technical documentation for data lineages, metric definitions, and pipeline logic.
Job Requirements
- 4+ years of hands-on experience in a hybrid data role (Analytics Engineer, Data Engineer, or BI Developer).
- Expert-level proficiency in SQL. You must be comfortable writing complex CTEs / window functions and have a strong grasp of Dimensional Modeling (Kimball methodology).
- Deep proficiency with Tableau Desktop. You must have experience with advanced calculations (LODs, Parameters, Set Actions) and a strong understanding of layout strategies to guide user attention.
- Strong experience using Python for data manipulation, API calls, and automation scripting.
- Proven ability to demonstrate how you have taken a raw dataset and turned it into a clear business recommendation or narrative.
- Experience working within a modern cloud ecosystem (e.g., GCP, AWS, Azure) and cloud data warehouses (BigQuery, Snowflake, Redshift).
- Excellent verbal and written skills; you can present a dashboard to a stakeholder and clearly articulate the business value.
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Information Systems, Design, or a related field.
