About The Position

The Business Systems & Data Analyst works cross-functionally to improve Cobalt Truck Equipment’s business processes, systems, and data. The role partners with department leaders and employees to understand current workflows, identify process and data defects, improve existing solutions, and evaluate or implement replacements when current processes or systems no longer meet business needs. A major focus is making operational data more accessible, reliable, and useful to management through business intelligence and performance analytics. The analyst works across the company’s SQL-backed ERP, Salesforce, SharePoint, and other business applications, with Power BI as a primary reporting and analytics platform. The position involves understanding the business behind the data and turning findings into practical improvements, rather than focusing solely on reporting.
