Sr. Data Analyst

Senior Analyst, Office of the CEOThe Senior Analyst, Office of the CEO is the analytical engine of the executive office. You will take questions from the CEO and the executive leadership team, find the data required to answer them, reconcile it across inconsistent sources, form a defensible point of view on what it means, and deliver that answer in a form leadership can act on immediately.This is not a reporting role. Producing the number is the entry price. The value is in telling us what the number means, where it disagrees with another number, and what you would do about it. You will be expected to take positions, defend them, and be clear about where your confidence is low.Beyond analysis, you will manage discrete initiatives that matter to the CEO but do not warrant a dedicated program manager, and you will share responsibility for the operational continuity of the executive office.This is a high-visibility, high-trust seat with unusual exposure for the level. You will work directly with the CEO, CFO, COO, and CIO, and with the board, and you will see financial, acquisition, and strategic material before most of the organization does. For the right person, this is a launching pad into finance, corporate development, operations leadership, or a chief of staff track.Key ResponsibilitiesAnalysis and InsightTranslate open-ended executive questions into a defined analytical scope, then execute against it independentlyGather, structure, and reconcile financial, operational, sales, and customer data from multiple ERP, CRM, and legacy hub systemsIdentify and resolve discrepancies between sources, and document which source is authoritative and whyBuild and maintain analytical models covering revenue, recurring monitoring revenue, margin, headcount productivity, backlog, pipeline, and customer profitabilityPerform variance analysis against budget, forecast, and prior period, and explain the drivers rather than restating the deltaDeliver a clear recommendation with every analysis, including the assumptions it rests on and the conditions that would change itConduct ad hoc research on markets, competitors, acquisition targets, and industry benchmarksExecutive Reporting and PresentationProduce board-quality decks, memos, and reporting packages that are complete, accurate, and require no reworkOwn recurring executive reporting products end to end, including monthly and quarterly business review materialsBuild data visualizations that make the point without narration, and choose the chart that tells the truth rather than the chart that looks bestMaintain version control, source documentation, and an audit trail for every number that reaches the boardSupport preparation for board meetings, lender reporting, and investor communicationsProject ManagementOwn cross-functional initiatives sponsored by the CEO that are too small to staff formally, driving them from definition to completionBuild and manage project plans, timelines, milestones, and status reportingCoordinate work across corporate functions and operating brands without direct authority over the participantsEscalate blockers early and with a recommended path forwardSupport post-acquisition integration workstreams, including data consolidation, reporting alignment, and synergy trackingSupport diligence efforts on active acquisition targetsExecutive Office ContinuityServe as continuity coverage for the CEO's calendar, scheduling, and travel when the Executive Assistant is out of office or otherwise unavailable, ensuring the executive office does not go darkCoordinate logistics for executive and board meetings, including materials distribution and follow-up trackingTrack executive action items and commitments to closureHandle confidential financial, acquisition, personnel, and strategic information with absolute discretionBuild durable working relationships with finance, operations, IT, and hub leadershipContribute to the definition of Zeus's future analytics and reporting architecture as the ERP program maturesQualificationsBachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Business, Engineering, Data Analytics, or a related field4 to 7 years of experience in management consulting, investment banking, private equity, corporate development, corporate strategy, FP&A, or a comparable analytical roleAdvanced Microsoft Excel skills, including complex modeling, large dataset manipulation, and structured model designWorking proficiency in SQL for data extraction and reconciliationDemonstrated ability to build executive-level PowerPoint materials that stand on their ownExperience with business intelligence tools such as Power BI, Tableau, or equivalentTrack record of managing projects to completion in a cross-functional environment without formal authorityStrong written and verbal communication, including the ability to brief a senior executive conciselyDemonstrated sound judgment in handling confidential informationAbility to manage several competing priorities under real deadlinesEEOC StatementZeus provides equal employment opportunities to all employees and applicants for employment and prohibits discrimination and harassment of any type without regard to race, color, religion, age, sex, national origin, disability status, genetics, protected veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or any other characteristic protected by federal, state or local laws.
