Data Analyst
The Data Analyst will focus on advanced analytics, predictive modeling, and scalable BI development to support Sales leadership with forward-looking insights. This role is responsible for building and maintaining predictive, repeatable reporting frameworks across forecasting, top-of-funnel performance, and core sales KPIs.
Advanced Analytics & Predictive Modeling
-
Design and maintain predictive models to support revenue forecasting, pipeline movement, deal progression, and funnel conversion.
-
Analyze historical sales performance to identify patterns, drivers, and leading indicators of future outcomes.
-
Build models that explain why performance shifts occur (pushes, pulls, slips), not just what happened.
-
Continuously refine assumptions and logic as data quality, coverage, and processes mature.
Forecasting & Revenue Intelligence
-
Partner with Sales leadership, Finance, and IT to improve forecast accuracy, consistency, and scalability.
-
Develop analytics that connect pipeline data, bookings, and historical trends into a unified forecasting view.
-
Support scenario modeling and sensitivity analysis to evaluate risk, upside, and contingency planning.
-
Help transition forecasting away from heavy manual Excel processes to structured, model-driven reporting.
Funnel & Sales KPI Reporting
-
Build scalable reporting for top-of-funnel, mid-funnel, and late-stage pipeline performance.
-
Define and standardize KPI logic in partnership with Sales Ops and Finance (e.g., conversion rates, velocity, win rates).
-
Ensure consistent metric definitions across dashboards to support leadership confidence in data.
-
Identify early warning signals in the funnel that indicate future performance risk or opportunity.
BI Development & Scalable Reporting
-
Design and deliver dashboards using approved BI tools in partnership with IT.
-
Translate business questions into structured data models and visualizations.
-
Ensure reporting solutions are performant, maintainable, and reusable rather than one-off analyses.
-
Document methodologies, assumptions, and data sources to ensure transparency and scale.
Cross-Functional Partnership
-
Act as a bridge between Sales, Finance, and IT on analytics and reporting initiatives.
-
Collaborate with IT on data pipelines, source system integration, and architectural decisions.
-
Align with Finance on revenue definitions, forecasting assumptions, and performance measurement.
-
Support Sales Operations by providing analytically sound inputs that feed operational processes (without owning those processes).
Requirements
-
4–8+ years experience in Data Analytics, Sales Analytics, Revenue Analytics, or similar roles.
-
Strong experience with predictive modeling, forecasting logic, and statistical analysis.
-
Experience building BI dashboards and scalable reporting frameworks.
-
Comfortable working with imperfect data and iterating toward better models over time.
-
Experience partnering cross-functionally with Sales, Finance, and IT teams.
-
Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex findings clearly.
Success in This Role Looks Like
-
Forecast accuracy improves as models replace manual assumptions.
-
Leaders rely on dashboards as a single source of truth for sales performance.
-
Funnel health and risk are visible earlier and more consistently.
-
Reporting is repeatable, scalable, and explainable—not spreadsheet-dependent.
-
Analytics becomes proactive, not reactive.
