Responsibilities

• Scope and frame the problem: Break down open-ended questions into a clear plan: define the key drivers, the right approach, and the evidence that will move the decision
• Find and build the data: Track down the right data across Product, Tech, Finance, and Operations, and turn messy inputs into clean financial and operational models and KPIs
• Build the queries: Write clean, well-structured, performant SQL against large and messy datasets: joins across disparate sources, transformations, deduplication, and business-logic layers - thoroughly QA'ed before it reaches stakeholders
• Stand up the reporting: Turn those queries into BI dashboards and data sources (Tableau, Power BI) that stakeholders can act on - designed for the decision, not just the data - and maintain them as the business changes
• Build the narrative: Shape the results into well-structured, well-formatted, executive-ready models and pages, with clear insights and recommendations that are easy to follow
• Pressure-test the analysis: Work with operators and functional teams to validate assumptions, test hypotheses, run scenarios, and bring an independent, data-driven point of view

Skills

• 5–7 years in a data or analytics role building queries and reporting for business stakeholders
• Advanced SQL - not just SELECT and JOIN. Comfortable with CTEs, window functions, and aggregation logic, and able to write queries that perform well against large tables and stay maintainable
• Strong hands-on experience building and maintaining dashboards in Tableau and Power BI, including data source design, calculated fields, and structuring a model so the visuals stay fast and correct
• Experience taking raw, messy, inconsistent source data and turning it into something trustworthy - you've handled the deduplication, grain, and reconciliation problems yourself
• Strong Excel and PowerPoint for analysis and executive communication; Python or dbt a plus
• Top-down, well-structured communicator: make complex analysis easy to follow and decisions easy to make
• Comfortable with ambiguity and fast-moving work; takes initiative and follows through
• Interest in automotive, retail, or consumer businesses; prior industry experience is a plus
