About The Position

ZoomInfo is seeking a Senior Data Analyst to become the expert on our business entity data pipeline—the system that ingests, processes, and profiles millions of company records that power our customers' go-to-market strategies. In this role, you'll build deep expertise in how our business entity data flows from acquisition through profiling and output. You'll understand how data is transformed and processed through the pipeline, bring informed opinions to technical conversations, and help shape the evolution of our data quality capabilities. As you build mastery of our systems, you'll increasingly lead strategic data improvement initiatives that require both systems thinking and creative problem-solving. This isn't about building dashboards or SQL reports. This is about understanding how data behaves as it moves through systems, solving complex data quality challenges, and ensuring our pipeline continuously evolves to meet customer needs and maintain competitive advantage.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Statistics, or related quantitative field
5+ years of experience in data analytics or related technical roles with focus on data quality and pipeline systems
Experience working with data pipelines, ETL systems, or data processing workflows where you understand how data moves through systems and what can go wrong
Strong skills investigating data quality issues through profiling data, identifying anomalies, tracing root causes, and validating fixes
Ability to understand data transformations by reviewing SQL, Python, Java, or similar code
Strong programming skills in Python and SQL for data analysis, profiling, and manipulation
Experience solving ambiguous, multi-faceted data problems that required figuring out the approach, not just executing well-defined analyses
Demonstrated ability to work effectively with Engineering and/or Product teams, translating between technical implementation and business needs
Self-directed with strong ownership mentality; you drive your work forward and know when to seek input

Nice To Haves

Ability to work hybrid from our Vancouver, WA or Waltham, MA office locations
Experience working with firmographic/company data in B2B context

Knowledge of web data structures (HTML/DOM) and data extraction methodologies
Experience designing validation strategies or testing frameworks for data quality
Experience creating technical documentation or knowledge-sharing resources
Track record of leading or co-leading cross-functional data projects

Responsibilities

Master how our business entity data behaves as it flows through our pipeline: what transforms are applied at each stage, where quality issues emerge, and how changes impact downstream data
Review production code to understand how data is processed and assess how proposed changes would impact data quality
Create documentation and system maps that capture how data is processed, dependencies, and quality considerations
Partner with Engineering and Product on pipeline enhancements, bringing data quality insights, business impact assessments, and informed opinions on data requirements
Validate improvements through rigorous testing and hands-on verification of data quality
Translate data quality investigations into system-level improvement opportunities
Lead data improvement initiatives that require systems thinking and creative problem-solving (improving location verification, integrating new data sources, or solving novel extraction challenges)
Tackle ambiguous problems through understanding processing logic, manual investigation, and cross-functional coordination
Build repeatable approaches to testing, validation, and root cause analysis
