• Build and maintain recurring reports and dashboards using Google Analytics 4, BigQuery, Databricks SQL, Looker, Tableau, or similar platforms
• Document definitions and metric logic so the business trusts a single source of truth

• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills
• Strong attention to detail and genuine care about data accuracy and quality
• Clear written and verbal communication skills
