• Make lightweight adjustments to pipelines, scheduling, or BI models.

Qualifications

• Strong SQL & Python skills and experience with data modeling.
• Hands‑on with SuiteAnalytics Connect (NetSuite) via ODBC/JDBC and SuiteQL.

• Understanding of data architecture principles, governance, and best practices.
• Experience coordinating with external vendors or partners on data pipelines.
• Familiar with data orchestration tools like Airflow (good to have).
• Strong communication skills to connect business and engineering stakeholders.
• Comfortable balancing hands‑on execution with strategic oversight.

Benefits

• AI‑First Skill Building: Get hands‑on with the most advanced AI tools in the market. From automation to prompt engineering, you'll build a modern tech stack that sets you apart in any industry.
• Accelerated Career Path: High performers are quickly entrusted with greater responsibility, new challenges, and leadership opportunities across our portfolio of brands.
• Competitive benefits: Paid time off policies, 401(k)/RRSP match, medical/dental/vision and a variety of supplemental policies, and employee discounts at our portfolio companies.
