Reporting This position will report into the Staff Data Scientist. Summary of Role As a Senior Data Analyst, you play a central role in answering and owning data driven questions for Palmetto’s Capital team. You’ll work closely with subject matter experts to engineer improved analyses and methods surrounding quality verification processes, equipment tracking, and other aspects of the Palmetto’s operational project pipeline. You’ll cultivate an understanding of Palmetto’s data platform to ensure that you can answer high‑impact data‑driven questions, and you’ll disseminate these answers via clear visualizations and organized communication. The ideal team member is comfortable speaking the language of both Data Engineers and business stakeholders. Furthermore, you will play a key role in updating Palmetto’s BI stack to allow for a conversational, AI‑assisted business‑facing analytics tool. This will involve centralizing much of Palmetto’s distributed data knowledge, and cultivating an understanding of prompt engineering and smart guardrails in order to feel safe and confident about allowing a conversational interface to answer the business’s data‑driven questions. In summary, you will work across the spectrum of data analytics; from ad‑hoc queries, to reporting database updates, to visualization‑building, to notebook‑writing, to AI‑scaling, and more. You are comfortable juggling these tools and priorities, and you can cultivate an understanding of which tool is best for which job. Strategic & Tactical Work intimately across multiple operations‑focused teams within Palmetto’s Capital organization. Co‑own data‑driven targets with these teams. Uncover hidden flags and opportunities, and communicate them clearly to the business such that processes can function smoothly at high scale. Answer data‑driven questions from the business (sometimes before they ask them!). Be comfortable serving raw query results, visualizations, or notebooks, depending on the ask. Be comfortable serving a “pretty good” answer today, while working on an “excellent” answer for the near future. Often, dig deeper than the original question. What isn’t getting analyzed, that should be? Understand how to balance a focused answer with information overload. Play a central role in bringing Palmetto’s data documentation into the 21st century. We have accumulated significant complex and tactical knowledge that lives across Slack, Google Sheets, SQL, and so on. Centralization and organization of this knowledge will be crucial to scaling out AI‑assisted business‑facing analytics. Play a central role in rolling out a conversational analytics interface responsibly. Qualifications Proficiency in SQL, Python, and any BI tool. We use Snowflake, dbt, Looker, and Hex. 3+ years of experience in data analysis with proven success collaborating with business stakeholders. You thrive on combining rigorous data‑driven analysis, strong business intuition, and an ability to work well across a variety of teams to solve complex problems. You have an understanding of statistics and analytics; you are comfortable discriminating between valid and less valid analyses, and you are comfortable communicating analytical results to a business audience. Experience using AI to speed up your development processes. We primarily use Gemini and Claude. Bonus points for experience with agentic flows. Bonus points for experience productionizing and scaling an internal conversational analytics tool. Enthusiasm and proactiveness You index highly on business impact.
