• Develop presentations, dashboards, and reporting (Tableau, Snowflake’s Streamlit) that visualize results, recommendations, and forecasts for business group leaders and department heads.
• Automate data collection, reporting, and distribution wherever possible using Snowflake Tasks/Streams, Alteryx, and AI-driven orchestration.
• Support special projects and firm-wide initiatives as needed, often acting as the analytical lead from ideation through executive delivery.

• Bachelor's degree in finance, economics, computer science, data analytics, or a related field — or equivalent experience.
• Minimum 5 years of experience in data analytics, including the ability to write intermediate-to-advanced SQL for aggregating and automating custom datasets and analytics.
• Minimum 5 years of experience building financial models in Excel, including advanced functions, dynamic arrays, Power Query, and scenario modeling.
• Hands‑on experience developing semantic views / semantic models (Snowflake Cortex Analyst, dbt semantic layer, or equivalent) and a working understanding of data mesh principles (domain ownership, data products, federated governance).
• Experience building or prototyping agentic AI solutions — for example, Snowflake Cortex Agents, Claude-based assistants, or Microsoft Copilot Studio agents — including prompt design, tool/skill orchestration, and grounding agents on governed data.
• Intermediate experience with visualization and reporting tools such as Tableau and Snowflakes Streamlit
• Working knowledge of Salesforce and building custom reporting solutions (reports, dashboards, custom report types).
• Comfort learning new tooling such as Airtable and emerging AI platforms.
• Demonstrated ability to take a data- and insight-driven approach to large datasets and ambiguous business questions.
