What You’ll Do

The Business Data Analyst turns product, customer, and operations data into reliable reporting, decision-ready analysis, and actionable insights. Working with SQL-based data warehouses, dbt models, and modern BI tools, you’ll define and document metrics, investigate performance changes, and build dashboards that drive product and business decisions.

• Build and maintain analytical datasets and reporting models using SQL, dbt, and a cloud data warehouse (Snowflake, BigQuery, or Redshift)
• Create and manage dashboards and metrics in Looker, Tableau, or Power BI; include drill-downs, alerts, and documentation
• Analyze product, customer, and operational data to identify trends, anomalies, drivers of performance, and opportunities for improvement
• Partner with product, operations, finance, and engineering to translate questions into structured analyses and recurring reports with clear recommendations
• Validate data quality across sources and transformations; investigate discrepancies and coordinate fixes with data engineering
• Automate recurring analyses and reporting workflows using Python, SQL, spreadsheets, or BI platform features
• Present findings to technical and non-technical audiences via concise analysis, visualizations, and executive summaries
