## Description

BVM Digital powers a rapidly expanding portfolio of digital products across 1,300+ local communities-spanning websites, digital advertising, SEO, client dashboards, lead generation, and CRM systems. Each product generates rich, real-world signals about local business success. We are looking for a Lead Analytics Engineer to own that entire data value chain end-to-end, transforming raw product signals into a living data system and becoming the source of truth for our business.

This is a rare dual-impact role that bridges system architecture and strategic business analysis. You won't just build pipelines and pass off the numbers, nor will you analyze models created by someone else-you will own the full chain. In your first few months, your primary focus will be building the foundation: data ingestion, dbt modeling, pipeline orchestration, and cross-product entity resolution. Once established, your center of gravity shifts to strategic leadership: serving as the primary quantitative voice alongside Product, Operations, and executive leadership to answer critical business questions and shape our strategic roadmap., * Build and maintain automated pipelines that bring web, ad, SEO, lead, and CRM data into BigQuery.

 * Create clean dimensional models, dbt transformations, and data quality tests for fast, accurate querying.
 * Manage pipeline orchestration, third-party API integrations, backfills, and system freshness alerts.
 * Solve cross-product entity resolution to consistently connect advertiser, publisher, and community data.
 * Build Looker Studio dashboards and govern standardized, company-wide KPI definitions.
 * Analyze product performance, retention, and user drop-off points to deliver clear strategic recommendations to leadership.
