You'll define project structures, align senior stakeholders, and navigate technical ambiguity to execute at pace. Influence and Lead: Act as a trusted partner to senior leadership. You'll prepare and deliver high-level presentations, skillfully tailor your communication to influence diverse audiences, and resolve conflicts decisively by leveraging data to build consensus. Champion Technical Excellence: Pioneer the development of efficient, high-performing SQL, and lead the design of scalable data infrastructure and workflows using tools like dbt. You will establish and enforce best practices in coding, data analysis, and system design across the team. Mentor and Develop Talent: Play a key role in growing our analytics function. You will mentor other analysts, identify and close gaps in technical and domain knowledge, and promote a culture of continuous learning and development. What you’ll bring: Strategic Mindset: Proven ability to think strategically, connect analytical work to broader company objectives, and drive projects that deliver significant impact across multiple teams or tribes. Flawless Execution: A track record of leading large-scale, complex projects with a high degree of autonomy. You can create multi-quarter roadmaps and execute on time-sensitive, critical initiatives.

You are an expert in SQL, data pipeline tools (like dbt), and data analysis, with the ability to design and architect scalable, future-proofed data solutions. Leadership and Influence: Experience in mentoring and developing analysts. You are a compelling communicator who can build strong partnerships with senior stakeholders, drive consensus, and foster a culture of constructive feedback.
