We’re seeking a hands-on Senior Analytics Engineer to own and strengthen our commercial data environment. This role will build reliable data pipelines, develop scalable data models, improve data quality, and make business-critical information more accessible across the organization.

Working with data from e-commerce platforms, retail partners, marketing channels, and financial systems, you’ll transform complex, multi-source data into trusted datasets, reporting tools, and actionable insights. You’ll work extensively with SQL, dbt, and Python to create reliable data workflows that support commercial reporting, forecasting, and performance analysis.

A key focus of this role is enabling self-service analytics and AI-ready data infrastructure through well-defined metrics, documented business logic, and governed data models. The ideal candidate combines strong technical expertise with commercial judgment, excellent communication skills, and the ability to independently turn business needs into scalable technical solutions.

Build reporting solutions across products, retailers, countries, sales channels, and stores to support omnichannel performance analysis.

Support commercial forecasting, sales performance monitoring, customer analytics, and profitability reporting.

AI Readiness & Analytics Enablement

Establish clear metric definitions, business logic, documentation, and semantic models.

Develop governed, well-structured datasets that support self-service analytics and AI-enabled reporting.

Improve data accessibility and help teams use reliable information to make informed decisions.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

Partner with Digital, Direct-to-Consumer (DTC), Retail, Marketing, Finance, and Leadership teams to understand business needs and translate them into technical solutions.

Communicate data definitions, assumptions, limitations, and analytical findings to technical and nontechnical stakeholders.

Take ownership of technical projects, proactively identify opportunities for improvement, and deliver scalable solutions.

Strong experience with dbt or a comparable data-transformation framework.

Proficiency in Python for data processing, automation, API integrations, and analytical workflows.

Hands-on experience with a cloud data warehouse such as Snowflake, BigQuery, Amazon Redshift, or Databricks.
