About the Role: Turning Data into Decisions
Here’s the thing about data—it doesn’t speak for itself. It needs someone who can translate rows of numbers into a story that actually means something. That’s where you come in.
WorkinVirtual is helping a fast-growing technology company find a Business Intelligence Analyst who can do more than just query databases. They need someone who can sit with stakeholders, understand what keeps them up at night, and build the dashboards and reports that answer those unspoken questions.
The company is at an interesting inflection point. They’ve got years of data across sales, marketing, product, and customer success. What they don’t have enough of is people who can pull it all together and make it useful. That’s why this role matters.
What You’ll Actually Do Day to Day
Let me be specific about what this looks like in practice:
Build dashboards that actually get used. Not just pretty charts that people glance at once and forget. You’ll design executive-level scorecards in Tableau or Power BI that leadership checks daily to understand what’s working and what isn’t.
Partner with stakeholders across the business. Sales wants to know why pipeline is slowing. Marketing needs to understand campaign ROI. Product is trying to prioritize features. You’ll sit with each team, understand their questions, and build the reports that give them answers.
Write complex SQL queries. You’ll pull data from multiple sources—salesforce, product databases, marketing platforms—and join it together in ways that reveal patterns no one else sees. This isn’t basic SELECT statements; it’s nested queries, window functions, and performance optimization.
Go beyond reporting into analysis. When something interesting shows up in the data—a sudden drop in retention, a spike in support tickets, a surprising cohort of high-value customers—you’ll dig in and figure out why. Then you’ll present your findings in a way that leads to action.
Train and enable teams. You’ll create self-service analytics solutions so business users can answer their own questions without coming to you for every ad-hoc request. And when they get stuck, you’ll be the one who teaches them.
Support strategic planning. The leadership team makes big decisions based on data—where to invest, what to build, who to target. You’ll provide the analysis that informs those conversations.
Who You Are
You’re probably someone who started in a spreadsheet and realized you could spend all day finding patterns in data. You get genuinely excited when a query comes together and reveals something unexpected.
You’re comfortable with ambiguity. Sometimes stakeholders don’t know exactly what they need—they just know something feels off. You can ask the right questions to uncover the real problem.
You also care about communication. You know that the most sophisticated analysis is useless if no one understands it. You can explain complex findings to non-technical audiences without dumbing anything down.
What You’ll Need
-
3-5 years of experience in a Business Intelligence, Data Analyst, or Analytics role
-
Advanced SQL skills. You should be comfortable with complex queries, joins, subqueries, and optimizing for performance across large datasets
-
Expertise with BI tools. Strong experience with Tableau, Power BI, or Looker—including dashboard design, data modeling, and best practices for visualization
-
Understanding of data warehousing concepts. Familiarity with star schemas, ETL processes, and how data flows from source systems to dashboards
-
Statistical literacy. You understand concepts like correlation, significance, and forecasting well enough to know when you need help from a data scientist
-
Communication skills. You can present findings to executives in a way that leads to decisions, not just nods
-
Bachelor’s degree in a quantitative field (Business, Economics, Math, Computer Science, or equivalent experience)
Nice-to-Haves
-
Experience with Python or R for more advanced analysis
-
Familiarity with cloud data platforms like Snowflake, BigQuery, or Redshift
-
Experience in e-commerce, SaaS, or subscription businesses
-
Knowledge of dbt or modern data transformation frameworks
What Success Looks Like
In your first month, you’ll focus on understanding the data landscape—where everything lives, how it connects, who the key stakeholders are.
By month three, you’ll have taken ownership of several core dashboards and started fielding ad-hoc requests independently.
By month six, stakeholders will come to you before they even finalize their questions, because they trust you to help shape them. You’ll have identified at least one significant insight that led to a business change.

Competitive compensation:Â $85,000 – $120,000 based on experience

A Note on Fit
This company values substance over flash. They don’t need someone who builds complex models that no one uses. They need someone who builds practical, reliable analytics that help people do their jobs better.
If you’re someone who cares more about impact than perfection, you’ll fit right in.
