Your Mission

We’re looking for a Senior Data Analyst to build and own the data and analytics behind Engine’s internal finance function. In this role you’ll partner directly with our Head of Finance.

• Design and build the finance data layer in Snowflake, including clean, well-documented data models and pipelines that bring together ERP, billing, payroll and operational data into one trusted source of truth.

• Use AI and automation to remove manual finance work. That includes automated reconciliations, anomaly detection, self-serve reporting and AI-assisted analysis that speeds up month-end and planning cycles.

• Build and manage finance’s BI dashboards in Looker, giving leadership real-time visibility into revenue, margin, operating expenses and cash.

• Hands-on experience using AI tools and automation to speed up analysis and eliminate manual workflows. Python is a strong plus.

• Solid financial literacy. You understand P&L structure, budgeting and forecasting, and how the numbers connect.

• Excellent communication skills, including the ability to turn complex analyses into crisp narratives for senior leadership.

• Experience with Snowflake and Looker is a plus. Familiarity with NetSuite or similar ERPs is a bonus.
