The position involves collaboration with teams from Customer Success, Operations, and Marketing to provide insights into customer behavior, operational performance, and growth opportunities, as well as promoting the adoption of Power BI.
The main responsibilities include leading the analytics and business intelligence strategy, translating commercial objectives into actionable insights, and building strong relationships with senior stakeholders to enhance data literacy. The role demands setting expectations, prioritizing tasks effectively, and delivering impactful results efficiently. Additionally, the position requires leading and developing analysts by providing direction and support, and working closely with data engineering teams to shape the analytics roadmap within a technical environment that includes tools like AWS, Snowflake, Power BI, and dbt.
