About The Position

CNET Group is seeking a highly skilled, intellectually curious Senior Business Intelligence Analyst to modernize data extraction, automation, and presentation.

The role involves connecting cloud data platforms with language models, developing Looker dashboards and LookML Explores, building targeted reports for business teams, and improving data validation and monitoring. The analyst will also guide stakeholder discussions and help the analytics team adopt practical AI tools.

Exceptional communication and data storytelling skills, including translating complex data into clear business terms and confidently leading meetings with senior stakeholders.

Develop and optimize Looker Explores and dashboards using LookML to provide accurate, consistent commerce metrics.
Build actionable, tailored reports for Editorial, Sales, and Finance, investigating root causes and category-level trends when metrics decline.
