About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Act as a thought partner to teams across the business - helping them define problems, clarify questions, and uncover the metrics that matter.
Translate stakeholder needs into end-to-end data solutions: from raw data to dbt models to dashboards in Metabase.
Define and document clear, consistent metrics to support better decision-making across departments.
Build intuitive, impactful dashboards that make data accessible and actionable for non-technical users.
Deliver ad-hoc and project-based analysis to evaluate initiatives in growth, product, operations, and beyond.
Collaborate with the data team to improve the reliability, clarity, and accessibility of our data models and pipelines.
Operate with a high degree of autonomy - scoping projects, pushing for clarity, and challenging assumptions when needed.
Contribute to a culture of curiosity and rigour, laying the groundwork for more advanced analytics and data science over time.

Requirements

What you’ll need

You have 2+ years of experience in a data analytics role, ideally in a startup or a company building out its data capability.
You're proficient in SQL and have worked with BI tools (like Metabase, Looker, or Tableau) to build dashboards that help teams make better decisions.
You have hands-on experience with dbt or similar tools, and a solid understanding of data modelling best practices.
You’re comfortable working with messy or incomplete data, and know how to turn it into something clean, structured, and useful.
You enjoy working with non-technical stakeholders - you ask thoughtful questions, clarify ambiguous requests, and help teams think through what they really need.
You take ownership of your work, are comfortable scoping projects with limited direction, and aren’t afraid to challenge assumptions.
You’re curious, pragmatic, and excited by the idea of shaping a modern data function from the ground up.
Bonus: you have an interest in experimentation or data science, and are keen to grow into more advanced analytics over time.
