Job

Summary
The Senior Analytics Engineer is a hands-on technical lead who takes direct ownership of the organization's most complex analytical solutions while serving as a resource and sounding board for other Analytics Engineers on less complex work. This role owns the end-to-end lifecycle of analytics delivery - from requirements elicitation and semantic modeling to insight generation and user adoption - and serves as the primary interface with business stakeholders on high-complexity initiatives.
Operating within a small, collaborative team, this role requires deep engagement in direct solutioning alongside a natural inclination to share knowledge and help teammates succeed. The role emphasizes a product-oriented mindset, treating analytics assets as long-lived, evolving products and establishing practical standards the team can apply consistently.
As data platforms increasingly incorporate artificial intelligence, this role drives hands-on evaluation and integration of AI-enabled capabilities (e.g., natural language querying, automated insights, copilots) and ensures that AI-generated outputs are accurate, governed, and aligned with business semantics.
Essential Functions, Duties, and Responsibilities
Business Engagement & Requirements Engineering
- Lead stakeholder engagement, translating complex and ambiguous business questions into structured analytical requirements
- Facilitate and lead workshops to define KPIs, metrics, dimensions, grain, and business rules
- Challenge and refine requirements to align with strategic decision-making objectives
- Establish and enforce documentation standards for definitions, assumptions, and data logic to ensure transparency and consistency across the team
- Serve as escalation point for complex requirements that cross multiple domains or business units
Semantic Modeling & Data Design
- Design and build complex, reusable semantic models for high-priority or technically demanding business processes
- Define and enforce standards for core metrics, ensuring consistency and a single version of truth across all analytical outputs
- Apply and champion sound data modeling principles (e.g., dimensional modeling, normalization vs. denormalization trade-offs)
- Ensure models are optimized for performance, usability, and long-term extensibility
- Evaluate and recommend semantic layer technologies and modeling approaches for the organization
Analytics Development & Delivery
- Lead the development and delivery of complex analytical assets (dashboards, reports, data products, self-service datasets)
- Establish and enforce architectural standards with clear separation between data, semantic, and presentation layers
- Define best practices for data transformation, calculation logic, and visualization design across the team
- Ensure solutions are intuitive, performant, scalable, and aligned with user workflows
- Review and approve analytical deliverables produced by junior team members
AI-Augmented Analytics & Innovation
- Lead evaluation, adoption, and governance of AI-enabled capabilities (e.g., natural language interfaces, automated insights, generative copilots)
- Establish frameworks for validating and governing AI-generated insights, ensuring alignment with enterprise data definitions and quality standards
- Identify and champion opportunities to embed predictive or prescriptive insights into analytics experiences
- Develop organizational readiness for AI-driven analytics through education, documentation, and governance frameworks
- Stay ahead of emerging AI and analytics technologies, making recommendations for strategic adoption
Data Quality, Validation & Governance
- Own the validation of analytical outputs against source systems and business expectations
- Lead resolution of complex data quality issues, including systemic inconsistencies in definitions or logic
- Define and enforce enterprise governance standards for naming, documentation, and metric certification
- Prevent duplication of logic and ensure a "single version of truth" across all analytics assets
- Partner with data governance and compliance teams to implement and audit standards
Stakeholder Communication & Adoption
- Communicate complex insights and technical concepts effectively to executive, technical, and non-technical audiences
- Guide and enable stakeholders in interpreting data and using analytical tools effectively and responsibly
- Drive organizational adoption of analytics solutions through training, documentation, and iterative improvements
- Act as a trusted strategic advisor for data-driven decision-making at senior levels
- Present analytical findings and platform roadmap updates to leadership
Collaboration with Data Engineering Team
- Partner with data engineering to define and prioritize data requirements (e.g., granularity, latency, transformations)
- Provide authoritative feedback on upstream data structures to improve downstream analytics usability
- Align with platform architecture, performance constraints, and data lifecycle management practices
- Drive cross-functional alignment between analytics, engineering, and business teams
Mentorship, Leadership & Continuous Improvement
- Mentor and coach junior Analytics Engineers, fostering growth in data modeling, analytics design, and stakeholder engagement
- Define and document team standards, best practices, and frameworks for analytics development and governance
- Manage analytics solutions as products, including backlog prioritization, iteration, and strategic enhancement
- Continuously evaluate and improve existing assets for performance, usability, and business impact
Participate in hiring, onboarding, and capability development within the analytics function
