Apply on DEPT®

Description

We are pioneers at heart, always leaning forward, thinking of what we can create tomorrow that does not exist today. We are a new model of agency, with a deep skillset in tech and marketing.

As a Senior Data Analyst, you will transform raw data into trusted, well-modeled datasets using dbt, then design, build, and validate the customizable dashboard templates on top of them. You'll work closely with product, client-facing teams, and engineering to turn client use cases into reliable, well-built dashboards.

Responsibilities:

  • Gather and document client dashboard use cases with relationship managers and client-facing teams, and translate them into clear reporting requirements.
  • Build and maintain data models in dbt, transforming raw source data into staging, intermediate, and reporting layers that power dashboards.
  • Design the reporting layer to support client-specific configuration.
  • Implement data quality tests, validation checks, and monitoring in the transformation layer.
  • Design, build, and test reusable dashboard templates with a configurable layer for client-specific needs.
  • Support with demos, requirements capture, and follow-up analysis.
  • Validate data accuracy and visual consistency between legacy and migrated dashboards.
  • Document models, templates, and configuration clearly and consistently, including dbt model documentation and lineage.
  • Track delivery risks, dependencies, and priorities, and communicate status to program leadership.

Requirements:

  • 5+ years as a Data Analyst, BI Analyst, Analytics Engineer, or similar role
  • 2+ years building production dashboards in an enterprise BI platform
  • 2+ years of hands-on dbt experience (models, tests, macros, documentation)
  • Advanced SQL, including performance tuning on large datasets
  • Proven experience modeling raw, unprepared data for reporting and analytics (e.g., dimensional modeling, star schemas)
  • Experience with Git-based version control and code review workflows
  • Experience with a cloud data warehouse
  • Experience gathering requirements from non-technical and client stakeholders
  • Strong documentation habits
  • Clear communication, including with senior stakeholders
  • Ability to deliver independently in a fast-paced environment with minimal ramp-up

Benefits:

  • The anticipated hourly range for this position is $50 hourly.
  • DEPT® is an equal opportunity employer (EOE).
  • We believe our work is its best when our people feel safe and free to be themselves.
  • We’re committed to an inclusive and barrier-free recruitment and selection process and workplace, regardless of anyone’s lived experience, race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, and genetic information.
