We are looking for a Senior Business Analyst who is passionate about building an organization’s business intelligence and ability to make data-driven decisions.

You'll shape our analytics and measurement strategy from the ground up, bring structure to ambiguous problems, and translate complex data into narratives that drive action at the executive level.

You'll lead large-scale analytics initiatives end-to-end, all while helping build the habits and infrastructure of a truly data-driven culture.

• Shape our analytics roadmap and measurement strategy, establishing standards for how we define, track, and communicate performance across the organization

• Champion a data-driven culture by making insights accessible, building self-serve reporting capabilities, and raising analytical fluency across teams

You have:

• 4–6+ years of experience in an analytics or business intelligence role, with progressive ownership of strategic initiatives

• Strong strategic thinking with the ability to connect analytical work to business outcomes

• Excellent storytelling and communication skills with proven experience presenting to and influencing executive audiences - you can turn a messy dataset into a clear, actionable narrative.

• Track record of building trusted partnerships with technical and non-technical stakeholders

• Deep SQL proficiency and hands-on experience with large, complex datasets as well as familiarity with dbt, Git, and data modeling best practices.

• Experience with modern BI tools (e.g., Omni, Looker, Tableau etc.)

• Curiosity, high agency, and a bias toward ownership.

Bonus Points if:

• Prior experience with Python/R

• Prior experience in or knowledge of web3/crypto industry

• Prior exposure to web3 analytics and data providers like Dune, Artemis, Nansen etc

Not sure if you meet every requirement? That’s okay. If you’re passionate about analytics, eager to learn, and excited by the role, we’d love to hear from you. We’re always looking for curious, driven people to grow with us.
