The Role
As a Staff Data Analyst at Facet, you will lead efforts to equip Facet operations, product, and leadership teams with the high-impact insights they need to maximize business performance. You will join the Data Science & Analytics team tasked with modeling, understanding, and optimizing various aspects of our growth, margin, and retention initiatives.

Instead, you will act as a high-influence strategic partner and advisor to our executive management and senior leadership teams.
You should be an expert in using Python and SQL to build lightweight, highly actionable data reporting tools (using Streamlit and BigQuery-connected Google Sheets) and conducting deep-dive Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) in Jupyter Notebooks. Additionally, you will be expected to leverage and integrate modern, secure AI-assisted engineering tools and workflow automation to exponentially scale the speed, accuracy, and depth of your analytical processes.

• Rapid, Scripted Analytics & EDA: Perform deep-dive Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) using Jupyter Notebooks to diagnose business trends, test complex hypotheses, and discover hidden relationships in our data.

• Modern Interactive Reporting: Build and maintain streamlined, interactive data tools using Python and Streamlit, and design high-impact, BigQuery-connected Google Sheets to deliver self-service data directly into the workflows of business leaders.

• Analytical Workflow Automation & AI Integration: Actively integrate modern AI assistant technologies and secure automation practices into your day-to-day analytics workflows. You will utilize model-driven tools to accelerate code generation, optimize SQL queries, and automate repetitive data exploration tasks safely and efficiently.

• Data Assembly & Quality: Gather, clean, and model data from various sources using optimized Python, SQL, and dbt, ensuring absolute consistency and accuracy.

• Evaluate & Produce Quality: Ensure the integrity of our analytical output. You will participate in peer reviews of SQL queries, Python scripts, and analytical methodologies to keep our standards high.
