[Hiring] Data Analyst @DLB Associates

Role Description

The Data Analyst is a foundational member of AI2IO’s new Business Intelligence function, responsible for translating business needs into clear, validated requirements that shape the Company’s enterprise data warehouse and reporting environment. This role works directly with business stakeholders across finance, operations, and delivery to define KPIs, research and profile underlying source data, and ensure that what gets built actually reflects how the business works.

This role sits at the intersection of the business and the technical platform: the Data Analyst partners closely with the Director of Business Intelligence and the Senior Fabric Engineer, providing the detailed business definitions, data profiling, and validation needed to shape the enterprise data warehouse architecture correctly. The Data Analyst also owns the operational mechanics of BI delivery — creating and managing Azure DevOps stories, coordinating user acceptance testing (UAT), and maintaining release documentation — so the BI function can run on a predictable, well-governed cadence.

Ideal candidates have prior experience supporting an enterprise data warehouse or BI modernization effort and are looking to grow into broader data stewardship and analytics responsibilities as the function matures.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to work effectively with both business and technical stakeholders
• Strong attention to detail and comfort with detailed, sometimes repetitive validation work
