• Partner with Data Engineering, Finance Systems and central data teams to move prototypes into reliable, governed, production-ready solutions

• Contribute to defining and standardizing KPI frameworks for financial metrics ensuring alignment across Finance and business teams

• Design dashboards, reporting solutions, and self-service analytics experiences that improve adoption, reduce manual reporting, and help business partners make faster, more consistent decisions

• Analyze business and financial metrics to uncover key drivers of growth, retention, churn, productivity, and efficiency, and recommend clear data-backed actions

• Contribute to scalable, repeatable analytics frameworks and best practices that improve Finance decision-making and create consistency across planning, forecasting, reporting, and business reviews

• Apply strong governance, quality control, and documentation practices to ensure AI-enabled workflows are accurate, explainable, secure, and appropriate for Finance decision support

• Communicate insights, recommendations, and roadmap tradeoffs to stakeholders and leadership through clear storytelling, executive-ready presentations, and concise written narratives

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree or higher in a quantitative field

• 5-7+ years of experience in analytical fields such as consulting, strategic finance, BizOps, data science, business intelligence, data engineering

• Advanced SQL skills with the ability to work with large, complex datasets and multiple data sources

• Strong experience with BI and visualization tools such as Power BI, or similar platforms

• Experience partnering with Finance, GTM, or business leadership teams to support planning, forecasting, reporting, and performance management

• Demonstrated ability to structure ambiguous problems, perform deep analysis, and translate findings into clear business impact

• Experience designing scalable dashboards, reporting solutions, data models, or analytics products that improve self-service and reduce manual work

• Strong stakeholder management skills, with experience partnering across cross-functional teams

• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to distill complex analysis, technical concepts, and business tradeoffs into clear, actionable recommendations
