Business Analyst (Power BI)

We're looking for a hands-on, insight-driven Business Analyst to join a growing team on a 6-month contract-to-hire basis. This role is W2 only (no C2C) and fully remote, with a strong preference for candidates who can work EST hours.

This is not a passive reporting role. We need someone who loves digging into data, proactively uncovering insights, and turning numbers into clear recommendations that drive business decisions. You'll work closely with internal stakeholders-including leadership-supporting areas like Operations, Merchandising, Marketing, and Store Performance.

What You'll Do

• Own and build Power BI dashboards, reports, and visualizations from end to end
• Proactively analyze data and surface insights-not just respond to requests
• Translate sales, margin, pricing, promotion, and operational data into actionable recommendations
• Identify trends, risks, and opportunities across a multi-unit retail environment
• Partner with cross-functional teams and present findings to leadership
• Work with large, complex datasets using Power BI and Excel

Must Have

• Strong, hands-on Power BI experience (this is core to the role)
• A proactive, curious mindset-you go looking for insights
• Experience analyzing sales, margin, pricing, promotions, or operational performance
• Advanced Excel skills
• Ability to clearly explain data and recommendations to non-technical stakeholders

Nice to Have

• Experience in convenience retail, retail, grocery, QSR, or multi-unit environments
• Experience supporting Operations, Merchandising, and Marketing simultaneously
• Familiarity with POS, loyalty, labor, inventory, or category management data
• Experience building KPI frameworks or executive-level reporting
