We're building a modern analytics practice that goes beyond dashboards. This role will create
revenue-focused sales analytics using
ERP + non-ERP sources (customer POS, CRM, industry data, spreadsheets, and other structured/unstructured sources), and will establish reusable analytics foundations (certified datasets, standardized metrics, semantic layer) that reduce ad-hoc reporting and democratize insight generation.
This is an in-office position in Phoenix, Arizona.
ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS & RESPONSIBILITIESTo perform this job successfully, an individual must be able to perform each essential function satisfactorily:
A) Sales revenue analytics & decision enablement (first 6 months priority)- Partner with Sales and Finance to build a differentiated sales analytics product that improves decision-making on revenue drivers (e.g., pricing/discounting, mix, customer/segment performance, channel).
- Create executive-ready insight narratives and repeatable analytic "decision frameworks" (driver trees, leading indicators, KPI hierarchies).
- Integrate and reconcile new sources beyond ERP (e.g., customer POS feeds, CRM, external/industry signals, customer master enrichment, spreadsheets) into governed analytical datasets.
B) Analytics engineering: data products, semantic layer, and standardized metrics- Design and own curated analytics datasets and reusable dimensional models that become a "single source of truth" for Sales and Finance analytics.
- Establish and enforce consistent KPI definitions via a metrics/semantic layer approach (define metrics once, reuse everywhere).
- Implement testing, documentation, and data-quality practices so stakeholders trust and adopt the analytics outputs.
C) Self-service enablement & analytics democratization- Reduce ad-hoc reporting by delivering certified datasets, reusable templates, and clear consumption patterns that allow business users to self-serve safely.
- Establish training/enablement (office hours, best-practice templates, "how to use" documentation) and analytics community rituals.
D) Lead the Analytics COE / Community of Practice (roadmap ownership)- Build an Analytics COE operating model that is not a report factory and not a help desk-focused on standards, adoption, and scalable enablement.
- Produce and manage a 12 to 18-month roadmap for analytics capabilities (platform patterns, data products, priority domains, adoption metrics).
E) Modern tooling & innovation (governed)- Implement analytics CI/CD patterns (e.g., version control, release discipline, peer review) to scale reliably.
- Introduce modern techniques/tools where they improve time-to-insight and adoption, including governed AI-assisted analytics experiences supported by trusted semantic metrics.
