Senior Data Analyst – Data Services

📍 Tempe, AZ | 💼 OT Exempt | ✈️ Travel: ~5%Hybrid onsite: Mondays required, with 1–2 additional in-office days based on business needs.

The Opportunity

You're not here to just crunch numbers. You’re here to build critical infrastructure for how this organization handles, governs, and leverages data at scale. As a Senior Data Analyst, you’ll be embedded in a high-performance team focused on delivering clean, connected, and trusted data solutions that power some of our client’s most vital systems. The work is dynamic. The bar is high. The impact is real.

This role isn’t for spectators. You’ll be a linchpin across data governance, cataloging, stewardship, and enablement — and a partner to both technical and business teams. If you thrive in fast-paced, cross-functional environments and know how to turn complexity into clarity, keep reading.

What You’ll Do

• Lead project and stakeholder meetings, clarify requirements, and drive delivery.

• Build project plans, then execute relentlessly.

• Lead data cataloging efforts using enterprise metadata standards (e.g. Collibra), and coach others to follow suit.

• Partner with Data Governance, Analytics COE, Integration Services, and domain stewards to enforce high-quality metadata, data quality, and stewardship practices.

• Deploy and scale cataloging, DQ services, and metadata assessments across business areas.

• Identify risks before they become issues — and help engineer the solutions.

• Design integrated data service solutions that meet business needs, not just technical specs.

What You Bring

Must-Haves:

• Proven track record in business analysis and project execution.

• Ability to operate across both IT and business stakeholders — you speak both languages.

• Strong communicator, both written and verbal — you bring people with you.

• Detail-oriented, self-driven, outcome-obsessed.

Technical Skills:

• SQL (strong); Python (preferred)

• Familiarity with data catalog tools like Collibra DIP / DQO

• Experience with dashboarding tools (Power BI), databases, and data product development.

• Ability to read and interpret code (no need to be a full-stack dev, but you should hold your own in technical conversations)

Bonus:

• You’ve worked with or built predictive models — and know how to apply advanced analytics in a business context.

• You know what it means to build resilient, scalable data products — not just “pretty dashboards.”

Why This Role Matters

Data is the backbone of decision-making. This role puts you at the heart of shaping how data is defined, trusted, and deployed. You’re not here to babysit reports. You’re here to build capability. Influence standards. Coach teams. Move the needle.
