• Define and execute the Analytics Engineering team charter and roadmap, clarifying scope, ownership, and priorities. • Lead, mentor, and grow a team of Analytics Engineers, fostering a culture of technical excellence and business impact. • Personally contribute (as a “player-coach”) to high-impact dbt models and pipelines, setting the standard for code quality and best practices. • Stand up and operationalize a semantic layer (dbt MetricFlow, Omni, or equivalent) as the single source of truth for company metrics. • Implement engineering rigor in analytics workflows: version control, CI/CD, testing frameworks, and observability. • Partner with Data Engineering, Analytics, and Data Science to ensure seamless handoffs from ingestion to analysis. • Deliver early business-critical wins (e.g., Finance-ready revenue model, Marketing attribution pipeline) that demonstrate AE’s impact. • Build trust and alignment across stakeholders with clear communication, documentation, and recurring forums.

🎯 Requirements

• Experienced data leader with 7+ years in analytics engineering, BI, or data engineering, including 2+ years mentoring or managing teams. • SQL and dbt expert, fluent in modern data modeling patterns and cloud warehouses (Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks). • Skilled in workflow orchestration (Airflow, Dagster, Prefect), Git-based workflows, and CI/CD in data. • Strong understanding of semantic layers and their role in enabling consistent, scalable self-service analytics. • Effective communicator who builds trust across technical and business stakeholders. • Bias for action — thrives in a fast-paced startup environment and enjoys solving ambiguous problems.
