• Establish data quality standards and documentation as the foundation for a future data team

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in a quantitative field (Computer Science, Statistics, Economics, Engineering, or similar), with strong academic performance
• Deep SQL expertise — you can write complex queries, optimize performance, and model data cleanly
• Hands-on experience with modern BI tools; Sigma experience is a strong plus
• Familiarity with cloud data warehouses (Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, or similar)
• Demonstrated grit and resourcefulness; thrives in high-growth, fast-moving, and often ambiguous environments
• Strong communicator who can translate data into clear recommendations for non-technical stakeholders
• Self-directed and proactive — you don't wait to be told what to build
• Mission-driven attitude — you care about helping customers win and making a real impact
