Business Data Analyst

About The Position

The Business Data Analyst role is a unique combination of technical execution and internal customer relationship management. You will serve as a "context-shifter"—equally comfortable navigating complex SQL databases as you are advocating for the needs of our business partners. We are looking for a versatile professional who doesn't just pull data, but seeks to understand the "why" behind every metric to ensure our business objectives are met with precision. StackAdapt is a remote first company. We are open to hire residents of Canada.

Requirements

Deep comfort navigating unfamiliar RDBMS environments, including complex joins, schema exploration, data lineage investigation, and query optimization.
Exceptional Communication: Strong soft skills with a track record of translating technical concepts for executive-level stakeholders.
Versatility: The ability to "live in multiple contexts" and pivot quickly from deep technical work to strategic business meetings.
Technical Curiosity: You are proactive about personal projects and stay up-to-date with industry trends, including a high proficiency in using LLMs to accelerate workflows.
ETL/ELT Knowledge: Hands-on experience building and maintaining data pipelines.
LLM/AI Literacy — Beyond using LLMs to accelerate personal workflows, an appreciation for how data model design (e.g., star schemas, clear naming conventions) improves AI/ML system integration and reliability.

Nice To Haves

Experience with cloud data warehouses such as Snowflake is a plus.
Python (Plus): Experience with Python for automation or advanced analysis is a nice-to-have.

Responsibilities

Act as a customer-facing advocate for the business. You will lead discovery sessions to understand requirements, define key metrics, and draft Business Requirement Documents (BRDs).
Partner with RevOps, Marketing Ops, and CRM administrators to maintain data integrity across systems (e.g., Salesforce), including field-level metric population, account structure governance, and cross-system reconciliation.
Execute project work and "hands-on-keyboard" development. This includes writing complex SQL queries, navigating disparate databases, and investigating data sets to find "the truth."
Bridge the gap between technical and non-technical teams by translating high-level business goals into actionable technical specifications.
Serve as the first line of defense for troubleshooting data issues and fulfilling ad-hoc data requests to support immediate business needs.
In your first 3–6 months, you will focus heavily on building and optimizing data pipes to ensure a robust foundation for future analysis.
