SQL Data Analyst

Description:

The Data Analyst will be responsible for discovering analytics and system integrations requirements,

identifying data sources and criteria needed, documenting specs for developers, testing the output, and

ensuring user acceptance. This position will work directly with internal customers, business process owners, leadership, Business Analysts, and BI, ETL, and Webservices Developers.

The ideal candidate has proven working experience taking a vaguely stated business question and unpacking it into specific requirements, data sources, and criteria. The skillset is a cross between a business analyst working with the customer on requirements discovery and a "data detective" identifying and interpreting data using SQL and analysis skills. Analytical /conceptual/ curious/ problem-solving mindset is an absolute must. Experience writing SQL against complex tables containing historical/future data is a must. Working knowledge of HR data and processes is strongly preferred. Selected candidates will be expected to walk through their data gathering, analysis, and SQL experience in detail.
