• Supporting the design, execution, and interpretation of experiments, including A/B testing and hypothesis-driven analysis.
• Working with and understanding data models used for reporting and analysis.
• Validating data quality, troubleshooting issues, and investigating inconsistencies in datasets and reporting.
• Translating business questions into analytical approaches and clear recommendations.
• Identifying trends, patterns, anomalies, and opportunities through thoughtful analysis.
• Collaborating with data and cross-functional partners to support business and analytical needs.
• Building knowledge of core datasets, reporting logic, and business context within the assigned analytics domain.
• Supporting broader Data & Analytics team priorities and cross-functional projects as required.

You have:

• 3+ years in data analytics, business analytics, or a related analytical role.
• Strong SQL skills, including joins, aggregations, CTEs, and data transformation.

• Understanding of data modeling concepts.
• Experience with Power BI, Databricks AI/BI, Tableau, or similar reporting tools.

• Detail-oriented and committed to quality, consistency, and governance.
