Purpose of the Role
The Business Data Analyst bridges the gap between business stakeholders and technical teams, driving cross-organizational analytics, automation, and insights. This role goes beyond reporting. It is about scoping requirements with business stakeholders, leading data discovery and cataloging efforts, identifying critical systems and data points, and ensuring the data team builds the right pipelines. You will design ELT workflows, build dashboards, and create automation and AI specifications that directly shape Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, and GTM strategy. The ideal candidate is equally comfortable speaking the language of executives and business leaders as they are working hands-on with Databricks, SQL, Python, PySpark, and ELT pipelines.

Key Responsibilities

• Business Scoping and Requirement Gathering: Partner with Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, Finance, and Product leaders to define business questions, KPIs, and success criteria.

• Data Discovery and Cataloging: Identify key systems, source applications, and data points across the organization. Document what data exists, where it resides, and what is missing to enable business insights.

• System Prioritization: Work with stakeholders to determine which systems and data points are most critical for GTM execution, and communicate priorities to the data engineering team.

• ELT and Data Integration: Use Fivetran, Databricks, SQL, and PySpark to design and optimize ELT workflows and integrate data across CRM, marketing automation, customer success platforms, ERP, and other systems.

• Automation and AI Design: Write specifications for agentic AI solutions and automated workflows that reduce manual effort and improve scalability.

• Dashboarding and Storytelling: Build and maintain dashboards in Power BI, Tableau, or Databricks SQL that deliver actionable insights for executives and teams.

• Business Impact Focus: Tie data analysis directly to GTM priorities including lead management, pipeline health, churn prevention, and revenue optimization.

• Stakeholder Communication: Present findings and recommendations in business terms for executives while also collaborating with technical teams to ensure accurate implementation.

• Continuous Improvement: Work with data engineers to refine ELT processes, improve data quality, and expand data coverage as new requirements emerge.

• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Computer Science, Data Analytics, or equivalent experience.

• 4+ years in analytics, BI, or data strategy roles within SaaS or product companies.

• Hands-on experience with ELT workflows, Fivetran, Databricks, SQL, Python, and PySpark.

• Proven ability to design and build dashboards in Power BI, Tableau, or Databricks SQL.

• Strong experience with data discovery, cataloging, and documenting systems and data points across a complex business landscape.

• Strong business acumen in Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, and GTM strategy.

• Ability to gather requirements, scope projects, and translate between business stakeholders and technical teams.

• Experience with automation or AI use cases such as workflow automation, AI-driven recommendations, or predictive insights.

Preferred Qualifications

• SaaS or subscription-based business model experience.

• Familiarity with CRM, marketing, and customer success tools such as Salesforce, HubSpot, Gainsight, or Marketo.

• Knowledge of data catalog tools or practices for documenting systems and data flows.

• Strong process-analysis skills with ability to design and document automation workflows.

• Excellent communication and data storytelling skills for executive audiences.

Why Join this team?

This is not a back-office reporting role. You will be at the front of data discovery and strategy, shaping how the entire organization identifies and uses data to drive GTM execution. From mapping business needs to systems, to designing ELT and automation workflows, to enabling AI-driven insights, you will play a central role in making data a core driver of business growth.
