What you'll do

  • Partner with Finance, Operations, and the rest of the Data team to understand business processes and source-system workflows, define pipeline requirements, and identify data gaps and downstream reporting impacts.
  • Own the Finance and Operations data layer and build trusted, reusable data models that support reporting, analysis, and decision-making.
  • Design and document how data should flow between source systems such as NetSuite, Ramp, and Pigment into Snowflake and Omni.
  • Create validation checks, reconciliation workflows, and exception reporting to improve trust in critical Finance/Ops data across source systems, Snowflake, and Omni.
  • Define and govern key Finance/Operations metrics with business owners, including business logic, data grain, source of truth, ownership, refresh cadence, and known limitations.
  • Create and maintain dashboards, from executive-level summaries to granular self-serve analytics, to communicate performance metrics and support root-cause analysis.
  • Identify and execute opportunities to automate manual data flows, reporting processes, and reconciliation workflows.

  • Ability to understand business processes and translate them into data models, metrics, dashboards, and documentation.
  • Strong stakeholder management skills, including gathering requirements, managing expectations, pushing back constructively, and communicating tradeoffs.
  • Comfort working in an early-stage or evolving data environment where systems, pipelines, definitions, and ownership boundaries may still be forming.
  • Preferred: Experience with source-of-truth systems such as ERP (NetSuite), WMS, TMS (OSCA), or CPM (Pigment).
