Senior Analyst

Behind the scenes

We're restructuring the way we work with data, and we're doing it properly.

Instead of one central team trying to serve everyone, we're creating four dedicated analytics hubs — Core, Marketing, Product, and Revenue — each deeply embedded in the business area it supports. Each hub will have its own focused team, its own identity, and a real seat at the table.

We're hiring 1 senior analyst per hub (except the core team), and we want people who are ready to grow into something bigger.

Reporting to the Head of Data, you will own the analytical relationship between the central data hub and the respective function (Marketing, Revenue or Product). This is a dual role: you will do serious analytical work, building the models, dashboards, and insights your function relies on, and you will own how that function uses data, setting the rhythms, SLAs, and standards that make analytics a genuine partner to the business rather than a service desk.

This is not a role for someone who wants to be handed a well-defined brief and execute against it. The spoke model at Approval Max is being built now, and the person in this role will have real influence over what it becomes, first for their function and as a template for how the broader data team operates over time. You should be as comfortable defining how analytics works as you are doing the analytical work itself.

1. Function Analytics

• Own the analytical relationship with the Marketing, Revenue or Product function: understand their priorities, anticipate their data needs, and deliver analysis that drives decisions rather than merely informing them.
• Build and maintain the core dashboards, reports, and models that respective function relies on, and take responsibility for their accuracy, freshness, and usability.
• Translate ambiguous business questions into clear analytical frameworks; make assumptions explicit and deliver useful outputs before perfect data is available.
• Bring cross-functional context to function analysis, combining product usage, revenue, and operational data to surface insights that a single-function view would miss.

2. Spoke Model Ownership

• Define and document the working model between the data hub and respective function: metric ownership, request intake, turnaround SLAs, escalation paths, and data freshness expectations.
• Own the function domain within the Central KPI & Metrics Glossary, and bring additions and conflicts to the governance process rather than letting shadow definitions accumulate.
• Document domain knowledge, stakeholder preferences, and analytical edge cases so the function spoke can be handed off or scaled without starting from scratch.
• Contribute to headcount planning by identifying where analytical capacity will be needed in function as the business grows.

3. Self-Service & Reporting

• Build and maintain dashboards and automated reports (Power BI, Amplitude) to reduce reliance on the hub for recurring questions.
• Write clear documentation that others can verify, extend, and build on: metric definitions, methodology notes, and data caveats.
• Actively seek opportunities to shift recurring analytical work to self-service, freeing hub capacity for higher-value analysis.

4. AI-Assisted Analysis & Agentic Workflows

• Use LLM-assisted tools and AI coding agents as a default part of your analytical workflow - for data exploration, query generation, insight synthesis, and documentation. You should be faster and more thorough because of these tools, not merely aware of them.
• Help embed agentic workflows within the function team, showing stakeholders how to get answers from data without always needing an analyst in the loop.
• Contribute as a practitioner and user of the natural-language and text-to-SQL tooling being built by the Data Platform Lead.

5. Data Quality & Governance

• Flag data quality issues upstream to the Data Platform Lead; understand how your analyses depend on specific pipelines and contracts, and raise risks proactively.
• Participate in the intake and weekly triage process; help classify and scope incoming requests from function.
• Ensure that new product features, pricing changes, or GTM motions are…
