- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, and ability to align technical and non-technical partners
- High emotional intelligence and empathy when working through differing perspectives
- Demonstrated leadership through mentoring, technical direction-setting, or informal team leadership
- Hands-on experience with modern lakehouse or warehouse platforms (e.g., Databricks) or BI tools (e.g., Looker)
Responsibilities
- Provide directional administration of the Looker platform, including permissions, performance considerations, content lifecycle, and development standards
- Partner with teams to align on shared metrics and definitions, and guide them through semantic tradeoffs and definition differences
- Oversee the care, development, and reliability of Kin’s core dashboards and reports
- Partner with data engineers and provide input on dimensional model design and evolution while advocating for best practices that support downstream analytics
- Hire and lead analytics engineers, mentoring them on modeling, semantic design, and stakeholder partnership
- Develop and implement new analytics and reporting solutions
Benefits
