Responsibilities
- Teach and coach business users on data best practices — how to frame the right questions, interpret results correctly, and avoid common analytical pitfalls
- Help teams look more broadly at their data: encourage thinking beyond the immediate ask to underlying trends, context, and root causes
- Build reusable frameworks, documentation, and training materials that raise the analytical maturity of the organization over time
- Partner with product, analytics, and leadership teams to translate one-off questions into repeatable, self-service answers
- Step in personally on complex or ambiguous analysis when needed, modeling best practice for others to learn from
- Own the target-state vision for Primeritus's BI/analytics architecture and set the roadmap to get there
- Design and evolve data models, reporting structures, and integrations that support product platforms, analytics, and regulatory requirements
- Expand self-service analytics capabilities — including natural-language and AI-assisted query tools — so business users can access and explore their own data with less dependence on the BI team
- Evaluate and recommend BI/analytics tooling and platform improvements as the business and data needs grow
- Monitor, optimize, and troubleshoot reporting and data processing performance
- Lead a small team of reporting/analyst team members — providing direction, technical coaching, and career development
- Review the team's analysis and reporting work for accuracy, clarity, and business relevance
- Serve as the go-to technical authority on analytics and data-related decisions across product and technology teams
- Define and enforce data governance standards, including data quality, lineage, and metadata management
- Ensure architecture and reporting practices support financial-industry compliance, security, privacy, and auditability requirements
- Collaborate with security, risk, and compliance partners to embed controls into architecture and reporting
