Job Description
As a Data Operations Analyst II, you will take ownership of critical data workflows and serve as a strategic data partner to the Operations, Compliance, and Finance organizations. You will move beyond simple request fulfillment to designing scalable data solutions, acting as a bridge between business stakeholders and the technical BI/Analytics teams. You will be expected to identify process inefficiencies, automate reporting at scale, and mentor junior analysts in best practices.
What you will be doing:
Own and Optimize Data Workflows - managing syncs, architecting and maintaining complex data pipelines and automation workflows. You will proactively identify bottlenecks in data delivery and implement solutions to reduce manual intervention.
Design, build, and maintain high-impact, interactive dashboards (using tools like Looker, BigQuery etc.) that drive decision-making for executive leadership. You will be responsible for "telling the story" behind the data, not just displaying the numbers.
Lead the definition of data quality standards. You will perform root-cause analysis on data discrepancies, implement automated alerts for anomalies, and work directly with Engineering/BI to fix upstream data issues permanently.
Act as the primary data consultant for specific Operations, Compliance and Finance verticals.
Lead small to medium-sized data projects from conception to delivery, managing timelines and stakeholder expectations without heavy supervision.
Provide guidance and technical support to Analyst I team members, assisting with code reviews (SQL) and best practices for data visualization.
About You:
Bachelor's degree in a quantitative field (CS, Math, Economics, Engineering) or equivalent practical experience.
2–4 years of experience in an analytical or data operations role, ideally within Fintech, Payments, or a high-growth tech environment.
Advanced proficiency in SQL is required (window functions, complex joins, query optimization).
Proven expertise in building complex dashboards in Looker, Tableau, or similar.
Basic proficiency in Python/R for scripting or data manipulation is highly desirable.
Strong understanding of data modeling concepts (star schema, snowflake) and experience translating vague business questions into precise technical requirements.
Ability to explain complex technical data constraints to non-technical stakeholders and negotiate scope effectively.
You don't just fix the report; you fix the process so the report doesn't break again.
