Automotive OEM Business Analyst I - Automotive DMS required

Summary:

We're looking for a Business Analyst to join our OEM team and help shape how Tekion delivers data and insights across the business.

This is a hands-on role for someone who loves working with data, gets excited about the auto industry, and wants real ownership early in their career. You'll partner with Product, Data Engineering, Analytics, and business stakeholders to turn questions into answers — defining the metrics, building the logic, validating the data, and shaping the analytical frameworks that help our teams, OEM partners, and dealers make smarter decisions.

If you're someone who likes to dig in, figure things out, and grow alongside the work, you'll fit right in.

Analysis & Execution

• Support analytical workstreams across a range of data and analytics initiatives
• Turn business questions into clear data requirements, KPI definitions, and reporting logic
• Document the business rules, metric definitions, and assumptions behind our analytics
• Help build and maintain foundational analytical assets — hierarchies, segmentation frameworks, benchmarking dimensions, and business reference data
• Investigate discrepancies, spot data gaps, and help build trust in our core metrics

Working Across Teams

• Partner closely with Product, Data Engineering, and business stakeholders to move work from idea to execution
• Bring structure to ambiguous problems with support from senior team members
• Create analyses, requirement docs, and summaries used by cross-functional teams and leadership
• Help shape repeatable processes that make analytics easier and more consistent over time

Market & Benchmarking

• Help maintain competitive and market benchmarking materials
• Refresh benchmarking to reflect shifts in market capabilities and competitor moves
• Help make sure market context is feeding into planning and prioritization

• Solid SQL skills and experience working across multiple data sources
• A knack for turning fuzzy business problems into clear requirements and real deliverables
• Experience defining and documenting KPIs and business rules
• Sharp problem-solving skills, great attention to detail, and a bias toward action
• Strong communicator — you can explain the logic and the takeaway to both technical and business audiences
• Comfort in a fast-paced environment with shifting priorities
