Analytics Engineer Analyst

You will guide communication between business stakeholders, Data Engineering teams, and analytics consumers, ensuring understanding between business needs and technical solutions. You will contribute across the full analytics lifecycle, including identifying and analyzing needs, conducting requirements gathering, and defining scope and goals. You will translate business requirements into technical and analytical solutions, support data modeling and analytics-layer development, and provide ongoing support and enhancement of analytics solutions. Additionally, you will make recommendations for improvements to business processes and reporting dashboards, applying technologies to drive value. As an individual contributor, you operate with a high level of independence and accountability, managing your workload and delivering results. You understand organizational processes, and data governance principles, and you are comfortable working across teams in a collaborative environment. While your primary focus will be on existing solutions and processes, you will also contribute to new projects, supporting continuous improvement and new ideas within the analytics domain. You will be reporting directly to Data and Analytics Manager.
