Business Intelligence and AI Analyst

Job Description

Job Description

Description:

We operate three leading brands within the marine industry: Elite Marine A/C, Southern Marine Supply, and Spot Zero. Together, our companies provide industry-leading marine HVAC, wholesale distribution, and advanced water purification solutions to customers across the marine sector. We're in active growth mode, expanding our footprint, our team, and our capabilities and that includes a serious investment in the data, systems, and technology infrastructure needed to scale. This role is part of that investment, built to grow alongside the business.

The Opportunity

This is an organization-wide role supporting all three companies, built around two things: Business Intelligence and AI-driven automation. You'll own the tools, systems, and platforms that power how the business runs — turning scattered data across sales, operations, service, and inventory systems into clear, trusted, decision-ready insight, while actively bringing AI and machine learning into how the business reports, forecasts, and automates work. You'll also own the underlying tech stack itself: the systems, integrations, and platforms that make all of this possible. 

Key Responsibilities

Business Intelligence & Analytics

• Develop, maintain, and optimize BI dashboards, reports, and analytics solutions that support decision-making across Elite Marine, Southern Marine Supply, and Spot Zero.
• Collect, clean, organize, and analyze data from multiple business systems and data sources spanning all three companies.
• Design and maintain data models, data pipelines, and reporting structures to ensure accurate, reliable business insights.
• Build automated reporting and KPI tracking solutions to improve operational visibility and performance monitoring across the organization.
• Identify trends, patterns, and opportunities within company data, and communicate actionable insights to stakeholders and leadership.
• Partner with business users across all three brands to understand reporting requirements and translate them into technical solutions.
• Ensure data accuracy, consistency, and integrity across all reporting platforms and analytics environments.

Artificial Intelligence & Automation

• Leverage AI and machine learning tools to improve reporting, forecasting, process automation, and overall BI capability.
• Identify opportunities across all three companies where AI and automation can replace manual work, accelerate reporting, or unlock new analytical capability.
• Support ongoing improvements to analytics, automation, and AI initiatives organization-wide, keeping the company at the leading edge of what's practically achievable.

Data Infrastructure & Integration

• Build, monitor, and troubleshoot API connections across business systems (CRM, ERP, inventory, service, and financial platforms) on an ongoing basis to keep data flowing accurately across all three companies.
• Continuously build out and maintain the organization's data lake, adding new data sources and expanding coverage as systems and business needs evolve.
• Perform regular data validation, cleanup, and pipeline maintenance to ensure the data lake and connected systems remain a reliable single source of truth.
• Architect and maintain scalable data pipelines that feed BI, reporting, and AI initiatives from the data lake and connected systems.
• Manage day-to-day data governance, security, and quality checks across all integrated systems and the data lake environment.

Technology Stack Ownership

• Own and manage the organization's core technology stack — the systems, platforms, and integrations that support BI, data, and business operations across all three brands.
• Evaluate new tools and platforms, and lead implementation and integration efforts as the business grows.
• Maintain system reliability, data integration, and platform performance across the tech environment.
• Partner with business users across all three brands to understand reporting and technology needs, and translate them into scalable technical solutions.
• Support ongoing improvements to analytics, automation, AI initiatives, and the broader technology environment organization-wide.

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Information Systems, Computer Science, Data Analytics, Business Analytics, or a related field.
• Strong hands-on experience with BI platforms such as Power BI, Tableau, Looker, or similar tools.
• Strong understanding of data analysis, reporting, and dashboard development.
• Experience with SQL and relational databases.
• Hands-on experience building and maintaining API connections between business systems (CRM, ERP, or similar platforms).
• Experience designing or building data lakes or centralized data repositories.
• Demonstrated experience with AI, machine learning, predictive analytics, or generative AI tools — not just exposure, but applied use.
• Comfort owning and managing technology systems and platforms, not just using them.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to communicate technical concepts and data insights clearly to non-technical stakeholders.

Preferred

• Experience with Microsoft Copilot, Azure AI, Claude, OpenAI, or similar technologies.
• Experience with cloud data platforms (Azure Data Lake, AWS S3/Redshift, Snowflake, or similar).
• Experience managing or administering a broader business tech stack (systems integration, platform administration, IT tool evaluation).
