Requirements

Technical Mastery & Data Architecture
- Advanced SQL proficiency is a must: You should be comfortable writing complex, performant queries to extract insights from messy, large-scale datasets.

Strategic Problem Solving
- High-impact self-starter: You take initiative to move projects forward and operate with high autonomy. You are excited by the challenge of "owning" the data layer of a cross-functional workstream in a fast-paced environment.
- Analytical Rigor: You "nerd out" about data accuracy. You can quickly structure analyses to answer critical business questions and provide the data-driven evidence needed to influence company strategy.
Communication & Operational Excellence
- Stakeholder Management: You bridge the gap between the technical and the non-technical. You can translate a Sales Rep’s "wish list" into technical requirements for Data Engineers and then explain the results back to a business audience.
