About the Role

We are looking for a high-performing Lead Analytics Engineer to serve as the technical authority and core engine of our analytics ecosystem within the Enterprise Reporting domain. In this 100% hands-on role, building executive-ready dashboards and business reporting is just as critical as engineering scalable data models and ETL/ELT pipelines.

You will hold end-to-end responsibility for the entire data lifecycle—transforming raw data into clear, high-impact reporting assets that drive business decisions. Beyond technical execution, you will establish engineering standards, mentor team members, and prepare to transition into formal team leadership as our analytics organization expands.

These are some of the key components to the position:

• End-to-End Data Transformation & Pipeline Delivery: Steer and execute the complete data lifecycle—building, maintaining, and optimizing scalable ETL/ELT pipelines and data transformation models using SQL, dbt, and Apache Airflow.
• End-to-End Reporting Drive: TTake direct responsibility to deliver and manage all core reporting assets across Tableau, AI Generated reporting, Google Sheets, and Google Slides, working in close partnership with Business Analysts and Delivery teams to meet strategic reporting needs.
• Strategic Deployment & Change Facilitation: Drive strategic ways to deploy code and facilitate technical change—implementing robust version control (Git), Airflow orchestration, CI/CD, and standardized deployment workflows.
• AI & Modern Stack Innovation: Steer the adoption of modern data stack tools and AI solutions (including Tableau AI and workflow automation) to continuously optimize reporting and pipeline efficiency.
• Data Quality & Governance: Establish and enforce rigorous data quality checks, pipeline monitoring, and governance practices to ensure high data reliability across all delivery channels.
• Mentorship & Team Guidance: Guide, upskill, and mentor team members, establishing a strong culture of technical rigor, Agile alignment, and collaborative execution.
• Future Team Leadership: Act as the hands-on technical lead from day one, with a clear trajectory to build, guide, and formally manage the Analytics Engineering team as it is established.

What You Will Bring to the Team?

• Deep Technical Mastery: Exceptional hands-on expertise in SQL, dbt, dimensional modeling, relational databases, and modern cloud data warehouses (e.g., GCP/BigQuery).
• ETL & Orchestration Skills: Hands-on capability in orchestrating complex ETL/ELT workflows using Apache Airflow, alongside Python scripting for automation.
• Complete Reporting Capability: Proven track record in steering and delivering high-impact Tableau dashboards, AI Generated Reporting, and creating executive presentation assets in Google Slides and Sheets.
• Drive & Responsibility to Deliver: A strong, execution-focused mindset with the proven ability to drive complex technical projects from initial data transformation to final executive delivery.
• People & Guidance Skills: Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the passion and aptitude to guide peers, facilitate change across stakeholders, and step into formal team leadership.
• Agile & Delivery Alignment: Ability to collaborate seamlessly with Delivery teams and Business Analysts to streamline deployment, prioritize workloads, and translate business requirements into working technical solutions.
