As the Data Analyst, Strategic Insights & Visualization you will play a dual role within our data organization: you will be the primary storyteller for our business performance, but you will also be a hands-on technical practitioner responsible for the integrity of our reporting suite. You won’t just build dashboards; you will define the metrics that drive our strategy. Whether it’s untangling a complex business logic request, auditing data quality in our Power BI apps, or partnering with business leaders to prioritize their roadmaps, you will lead with data. If you are a proactive problem-solver who loves to turn raw numbers into actionable business narratives, this is the role for you.

Responsibilities

Technical Execution

• Reporting & Visualization: Act as the primary resource for building and maintaining Power BI reports and dashboards. Personally manage the end-to-end deployment of Power BI Apps, ensuring high performance and intuitive user experiences.
• Metric Logic: Write and optimize the SQL and DAX required for complex business logic. Work with the data engineering team to pull the necessary data across source systems. Take ownership of metric definitions to ensure consistency across all departments, from ERP inventory tracking to Ecommerce sales performance.
• Support & Triage: Manage the support queue for reporting incidents. Investigate data discrepancies, perform root cause analysis on quality issues, and ensure that our "source of truth" remains accurate and trusted by the organization.
