Senior Data & Analytics Specialist

Purpose:
The Senior Data & Analytics Specialist is a versatile, execution-oriented role that sits at the intersection of data operations, business intelligence, and AI. This is the future of the business data analyst/steward — less about building static reports, more about ensuring data flows, quality, and structure are robust enough to power both human decision-making and AI-driven intelligence at scale.

This role combines hands-on data work (supporting analytics requests, maintaining business rules, troubleshooting issues, coordinating vendor feeds) with a forward-looking mandate to make data AI-ready, leverage AI tools in daily operations, and support the operationalization of AI use cases. The specialist brings critical business context — understanding what the data means commercially — while operating with the technical fluency to work across platforms, taxonomies, and data pipelines.

This is not a traditional reporting role.



It is a role for someone who understands that the value chain of data is shifting — from "pull a report" to "ensure the machine can interpret, validate, and surface insight autonomously." The specialist ensures data is structured, documented, governed, and contextually enriched so that both BI dashboards and AI products deliver trusted, actionable outputs. They are equally comfortable resolving a data quality issue, coordinating a vendor delivery, enabling a Power BI report, or preparing data for an AI model — and they bring the business understanding to know why each task matters commercially.

Critically, this role operates with an AI-first mindset. Every task — from data validation to mapping rule definition to documentation — is executed with awareness of how it enables or constrains AI tools downstream. The specialist understands that clean, well-structured, semantically rich data is the fuel for AI-powered products, and actively shapes their own work to maximize AI readiness. This means thinking
