Data Analytics Director Jobs in Connecticut (NOW HIRING)

About Lovesac
We are a young-at-heart, fast-growing furniture company, dedicated to helping people fill their homes with Total Comfort™. We do this by designing and innovating furniture solutions that are adaptable, washable, expandable, and delivered right-to-your-door-able, allowing our customers to live the life they want to live.
Our Designed for Life mission started with Sacs, a seat so much better than your classic beanbag made with repurposed Durafoam and designed to reduce environmental impact while providing unimaginable, cloud-like comfort. From there, we expanded the possibility for sustainable furniture with Sactionals, a customizable modular sectional that can be endlessly rearranged to evolve with you. Our product line has grown a lot since our Sacs days, but our goal will always remain the same - to create truly adaptable, comfortable furniture that can be with you for life.
About our Culture
At Lovesac, we strive to be an employer of choice by embodying a culture that encourages team members to think and dream big. We call this Top Ambition. We aim to not only excel within our industry but also make a meaningful impact on the world. Above all else, we're driven by love (because it matters) and are dedicated to promoting love and happiness in all aspects of our work. It's about success, of course, but it's also about making a positive impact on everyone our business touches.
About the Role
As our Sr. Engineer, Data & Analytics, you will build both the data foundation and the analytics on top of it-designing and scaling the pipelines, models, and Power BI solutions that turn raw data into trusted, actionable insight across Lovesac's business. Working primarily in Microsoft Fabric, you will engineer end-to-end data flows (ingestion, transformation, and modeling) and deliver high-impact Power BI dashboards and semantic models that support customer experience, store performance, merchandising, supply chain, and omnichannel growth.
You'll partner closely with Data Engineering, Technology, Merchandising, Marketing, Store Operations, Supply Chain, and Corporate teams to ensure data is trusted, accessible, and decision-ready for both corporate and field leaders. This role blends deep technical expertise with strong business acumen and a passion for enabling data-driven decisions.
This position is remote and will report into Lovesac Corporate HUB based in Stamford, CT. Candidates must fully reside in the United States at all times during employment and should have the ability to travel as needed.

• Maintain consistent definitions, metrics, and reporting logic to ensure a single source of truth.
• Apply source control and CI/CD using Git integration and Fabric deployment pipelines to promote changes safely across development, test, and production.
