The Role

The Staff Analytics Engineer is the chief architect of our business intelligence and the primary driver of our data-driven culture. This is a strategic, high-impact role designed for a leader who thrives at the intersection of sophisticated business intelligence and organizational change. Reporting to the Sr. Director of Enterprise Data & BI, this individual is responsible for defining business intelligence standards and ensuring they translate directly into business outcomes. This role owns the logic, leads the education, and builds the tools that empower our leadership to move with speed, confidence, and efficiency.

Core Responsibilities

• The Semantic Layer: In partnership with the Staff Data Engineer, this role owns the development and maintenance of a governed semantic layer to ensure a single source of truth for all business logic.

• Data Culture & Literacy: Serving as the lead advocate for data within the organization. This includes leading corporate knowledge sessions, hosting regular office hours, and managing recurring communications to elevate the company's data fluency.

The Profile

• Experience: 5–7 years of experience in analytics engineering or data engineering, specifically within modern data stacks.

• Leadership Style: A "partner-first" leader who thrives on collaboration. This individual is a visible consultant and mentor rather than a "behind the curtain" worker.

• AI Advocacy: A forward-thinking enthusiast for AI-enablement who understands how to leverage LLMs and modern AI tools to accelerate data accessibility and self-service.

• Governance Focus: A professional dedicated to data integrity and the creation of a reliable, governed environment that the entire organization can trust.
