• Support metric standardization across the organization

 

5. Drive Data Strategy & Maturity

• Experience with data modeling for analytics (fact/dimension, semantic layers)
• Experience integrating multiple systems (ERP, APIs, internal platforms)
• Proficiency in SQL and Python (or similar modern data tooling)
• Solid understanding of data warehousing and modern data architectures

 

Nice to Have

• Experience with orchestration tools (e.g., Airflow, Dagster, or similar)
• Familiarity with columnar databases (e.g., ClickHouse, Snowflake, BigQuery)
• Experience working with BI tools such as Looker
• Exposure to API-based data ingestion and semi-structured data (JSON)
