[Hiring] Junior Business & Data Analyst @Upgrade

Role Description

We are looking for a curious, detail-oriented Junior Business and Data Analyst to join our growing analytics team. You will bring at least 2 years of experience in an analytics or data-focused role. That means you have worked with real data in a real environment, dealt with messy inputs, and delivered something a stakeholder actually used. A degree without hands-on experience is not a substitute.

In this role you will support data-driven decision making by building reports, writing SQL queries, and surfacing insights that help business leaders understand performance and identify opportunities.

  • Support root cause analysis and performance investigations.
  • Assist in KPI tracking, data quality checks, and governance processes.
  • Build and maintain business intelligence reports and apply statistical analysis fundamentals.
  • Serve as the data resource for the commercial and account management teams.
• SQL and Data Engineering
  • Write and maintain SQL queries using joins, CTEs, and window functions.
  • Support query optimization and performance improvements.
  • Work within existing data models and warehouse structures to extract and transform data for reporting needs.
  • Document data logic and query definitions to support data validation and reconciliation efforts.
• Forecasting and Reporting
  • Help enhance and maintain scenario models under guidance.
  • Track and report on forecast accuracy.
  • Build and maintain dashboards and standard reports.
  • Develop clear, accurate data visualizations following best practices.
  • Support QBR preparation and executive reporting.
  • Contribute to automated reporting solutions.

Qualifications

• 2 or more years of experience in an analytics or data-focused role.
• SQL proficiency including joins, CTEs, and window functions.
• Experience with Tableau, Microsoft Excel, Redshift, and Databricks.
• Familiarity with AI tools like Claude or ChatGPT as a part of your workflow.
• Genuine curiosity about data and its implications.
• Ability to gather and document business requirements and collaborate cross-functionally.
• Ability to present findings clearly and translate data outputs into plain-language summaries.
• Comfortable forming and testing hypotheses with guidance.
• Ability to identify patterns and trends in structured datasets.

Requirements

• Strong analytical skills and attention to detail.
• Effective communication skills for presenting data insights.
• Ability to work collaboratively in a team environment.
• Proficiency in data visualization and reporting tools.

Benefits

• Competitive salary.
• 100% paid coverage of medical, dental, and vision insurance.
