- Partner with business leaders and technical teams to translate business questions into analytical projects, and communicate findings through clear visualizations and executive-ready presentations.
- Define and govern company-wide metrics, working with data engineering to maintain a trusted single source of truth and a consistent semantic layer.
- Set standards for dbt modelling, SQL quality, testing, code review, and version control in GitHub, staying hands-on in design reviews and complex builds.
- Drive self-service analytics through documentation and training that help business users explore data independently.
- Embed AI assistants and agents into SQL and dbt development, code review, documentation, and data quality checks, and automate routine reporting and ad hoc requests.
- Use AI to accelerate insight and storytelling, from summarizing trends and drafting executive narratives to enabling natural-language data exploration, while validating outputs for accuracy.
- Evaluate and introduce AI-enabled analytics capabilities, set responsible-use guidelines for data privacy, governance, and quality, and help the team use AI effectively.
What You'll Bring- The ability to lead a business intelligence or analytics function, with demonstrated experience managing, mentoring, and developing analysts.
- Strong business acumen and experience owning an analytics roadmap, independently prioritizing competing requests by business value and team capacity.
- Experience in a SaaS or similar subscription-based technology company, with working knowledge of ARR, churn, and retention.
- Expert SQL skills, including writing complex queries and optimizing them for performance and scalability.
- Experience designing, building, and governing executive-level and operational dashboards in Tableau, Power BI, or a similar platform.
- The ability to build, test, and maintain dbt models, supported by a strong understanding of data modelling, dimensional modelling, and data warehouse concepts.
- Experience with Git-based version control and setting team development standards.
- Clear communication and stakeholder management skills, including translating technical concepts for senior, non-technical audiences and influencing their decisions.
- Strong prioritization, organization, and attention to detail, with a commitment to staying current with BI and analytics trends.
- Practical experience using AI tools to improve analytics productivity, with sound judgement on validating outputs and using them responsibly.
