## Description

We are seeking a highly analytical Senior Data Analyst to work with large, complex enterprise datasets and turn ambiguous data into meaningful insights and actionable business recommendations.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys digging into messy data, figuring out what can be trusted, identifying patterns and discrepancies, and translating findings into a clear story for business and technical stakeholders.

This is an analytics-focused role, not a Data Engineering position. While you will work within an environment that includes Databricks, Spark, ETL processes, and enterprise data infrastructure, your focus will be on analyzing, investigating, validating, and interpreting data-not building production data pipelines.

What You'll Do

 * Analyze large, complex enterprise datasets using SQL and Databricks
 * Investigate data quality, coverage, duplication, inconsistencies, discrepancies, and edge cases
 * Determine which data is reliable and apply business logic when source data is incomplete, inconsistent, or poorly documented
 * Identify meaningful patterns, trends, and opportunities within the data
 * Define, analyze, and validate business metrics and KPIs
 * Translate analytical findings into clear insights and actionable recommendations
 * Develop compelling data stories that explain not only what the data shows, but why it matters
 * Compare and reconcile data across multiple systems and sources
 * Support analysis related to enterprise data migrations, transformations, and validation
 * Partner closely with business and technical stakeholders to understand questions, investigate issues, and communicate findings
 * Work within data environments involving Databricks, Spark, ETL processes, and complex enterprise data flows
