What You'll Do

  • Act as the go-to expert on data and analytics, providing strategic recommendations and insights through compelling, data-driven storytelling to influence key stakeholders
  • Design and build executive-level dashboards and self-serve reporting tools to track KPIs across Nextgen products
  • Own the end-to-end development of curated datasets and scalable reporting pipelines in Snowflake and other internal tools (Tableau Prep, Airflow)
  • Enable and automate operational rhythms such as QBRs, APMs, G4G, and monthly business reviews by delivering high-quality insights and visuals
  • Collaborate across functions - including finance, sales programs, operations, and product to align on goals and inform key decisions
  • Partner with teams to standardize definitions, metrics, and reporting frameworks for consistency across the org

Tools & Skills You'll Use

  • Advanced SQL (Snowflake), dashboarding in Tableau, and data modeling fundamentals
  • In-depth knowledge of sales related datasets / metrics e.g. acv, op, pipegen, account, aov, commit, g4g, carving, etc.
  • Experience in managing datasets, building reporting layers, and delivering BI solutions that scale
  • Ability to translate business questions into structured analysis, and distill complex results into actionable insights

What We're Looking For

  • 3-5 years of experience in data analytics / business intelligence
  • Strong business acumen with a passion for data and analytics
  • Proven ability to work cross-functionally and influence without authority
  • Detail-oriented with the ability to zoom out and think strategically
  • A "get-it-done" attitude with the curiosity to explore and improve
  • Excellent communication skills and experience presenting to executives

If you're energized by solving complex business problems with data, and you want to help shape the future of Nextgen cloud products, we'd love to have you on the team.
