• Model and integrate data from diverse source systems including proprietary internal applications, Salesforce, and third-party platforms spanning payments, telephony, HR, expense management, and customer engagement.

• Write clean, efficient SQL for complex data transformations across large datasets.

Business Intelligence & Metric Standardization

• Develop and maintain standardized metrics, KPIs, and business definitions across departments to ensure a single source of truth.
• Partner with stakeholders to translate ambiguous business questions into structured data requirements and well-designed semantic models.
• Build Looker explores, LookML views, and dashboards that support enterprise reporting and self-service analytics. Own and evolve the governed semantic layer to serve as the single source of truth for enterprise metrics.
• Provide guidance and governance around KPI definition, UTM/campaign taxonomy, product hierarchy, financial metrics, operational KPIs, and more.

Cross-Functional Collaboration & Project Execution

• Collaborate with Finance, Marketing, Operations, and other business units to gather requirements, model data, and align on metric standards.
• Drive structured analytics engineering projects, from requirement gathering to deployment, using strong project management practices.
• Communicate proactively with stakeholders to clarify requirements, share updates, and ensure alignment.
• Serve as a subject-matter expert for data modeling, dbt, Snowflake, and Looker.

Data Governance & Best Practices

• Enforce data documentation standards and maintain clear lineage in dbt and Looker.
• Participate in code reviews and contribute to team development standards.
• Help shape and evolve the data architecture supporting our enterprise data warehouse.
• Support forecasting and advanced analytics initiatives by preparing, curating, and modeling the underlying datasets required for demand planning, financial modeling, and performance analysis.
