The Role: Senior Business Analysis and Control Associate

As a Senior Business Analysis and Control Associate within the Business Control team, you will be a highly technical individual with profound expertise in SQL and data pipelining. This role is ideal for someone who excels at writing complex queries and constructing robust data models from the ground up, transforming raw business data into automated, reliable control frameworks. You will lead complex and impactful projects, working directly within our data warehouse (Snowflake) to ensure data integrity and establish the core foundations of our business controls.

Responsibilities

• Data Control Pipeline Development: Take primary ownership of building and maintaining business control data pipelines from scratch. This includes writing complex, highly performant SQL queries in Snowflake to ingest, transform, and validate massive datasets.
• Complex SQL Querying: Design, build, and optimize complex queries to analyze extensive datasets, identify anomalies, and extract trends. Your advanced SQL skills will be crucial for developing and automating our control frameworks.
• Control Framework Implementation: Translate diverse business logic and control requirements into automated, scalable data models and tests within our data environment.
• KPI & Data Model Creation: Develop, productionalize, and track key performance indicators (KPIs) by constructing the underlying data models in Snowflake, which will feed into our BI tools (Looker, PowerBI) and FP&A models.
• Process Monitoring & Adaptation: Proactively monitor product and feature releases, thoroughly analyzing their impact on data streams, and adapting your SQL-based control pipelines and frameworks as needed.
• Stakeholder Collaboration: Partner closely with various stakeholders to deeply understand business needs, then translate these into precise technical requirements and data-driven solutions. You will be expected to clearly present the findings from your data investigations.
• Documentation: Meticulously document your data models, control processes, and pipeline logic to ensure exceptional clarity, maintainability, and reproducibility.

Qualifications

• Professional Experience: 5+ years of hands-on experience in a data-heavy role such as Data Analytics, Business Intelligence, Analytics Engineering, or Data Engineering.
• Core Technical Skills:
  • Expert-level proficiency in SQL is mandatory, with demonstrated experience writing highly complex queries (e.g., complex joins, window functions, CTEs, stored procedures) for data transformation and analysis.
  • Extensive hands-on experience with a cloud data warehouse, specifically Snowflake, is strongly required.
• BI Tools: Strong knowledge of BI tools (e.g., Looker, Tableau, or PowerBI) for visualizing and effectively surfacing the control data you have built.
• Analytical Mindset: Possess very strong analytical skills and a keen willingness to deep-dive into large, complex datasets to pinpoint the root cause of issues.
• Financial/Business Knowledge (Preferred):
  • Familiarity with financial controlling, SaaS metrics, or general accounting/revenue concepts is a significant plus but not mandatory.
  • A strong willingness to learn the business and financial domain is essential for success in this role.
• Communication: Strong written and verbal communication skills in English, with the ability to clearly explain complex technical data investigations and findings to a diverse range of stakeholders.
