As a Sr Data Analyst, this role is an exciting opportunity for a curious and collaborative analyst who is energized by connecting with stakeholders, simplifying complexity, and shaping strategy through insights. While a foundational understanding of technical tools is expected, the heart of this role lies in storytelling—helping the business understand what’s happening, why it matters, and what we should do next.
You’ll sit at the intersection of data and strategy, serving as a trusted advisor and insight translator across teams. Your analysis won’t just inform; it will inspire decisions that drive the business forward.
Some of what you will do includes
Explore and interpret data to uncover the story behind business performance—what happened, why it matters, and what comes next.
Conduct ad hoc and deep-dive analyses that identify new opportunities, answer strategic questions, and support decision-making.
Work closely with marketing and other cross-functional partners to understand business needs and translate insight from guest performance data into data-driven strategies.
Develop intuitive, action-oriented dashboards and visualizations that highlight key takeaways—not just numbers.
Lead storytelling sessions and presentations with key leaders and stakeholders, communicating insights clearly and effectively.
Build strong relationships across the business to stay plugged into evolving priorities and ensure analytics stay relevant and impactful.
