Senior Operations Business Analyst

Checkr • Nashville, TN

6h • Hybrid

About The Position

This role sits on Checkr’s Operations Insights & Analytics team, directly supporting Truework’s operations team as its primary analytics partner. Truework’s operations are more complex than a typical help desk — and deeply understanding their processes will be central to your success in this role. Truework already has some operations reporting and data infrastructure in place, but as the first dedicated analyst focused on this work, you’ll own the process of improving and expanding it. Some existing dashboards need to be rebuilt or consolidated, sources-of-truth established, and the team needs reliable performance & cost metrics. You’ll also contribute to the near-term migration from Looker to Omni Analytics. The ideal candidate is someone who can context-switch between hands-on data work and strategic analysis, thrives in ambiguity, and is energized by making messy things clean. You should be someone who, when given a high-level goal, figures out what questions to ask, what data is needed, and what infrastructure would provide it — and then builds it.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in analytics, data engineering, or a hybrid role — ideally in a high-growth or startup environment where you’ve had to build things from scratch
• Advanced SQL: complex joins, window functions, CTEs, query optimization. You should be able to navigate unfamiliar database schemas and figure out how data fits together.
• Hands-on experience with data modeling and pipeline tools (dbt, Airflow, or similar). You’ve built and maintained data models, not just queried them.
• Strong BI experience building production dashboards (Looker, Tableau, or similar). You know how to design reporting that’s actually useful, not just comprehensive.
• Comfort working in ambiguous environments with incomplete information. You don’t wait for perfectly defined requirements — you figure out what’s needed and start building.
• Strong communication skills: you can explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders and advocate for data quality and infrastructure investments
• An A-player mindset with a strong bias for action: you raise the bar, move with urgency, stay resilient through ambiguity, and take ownership to deliver meaningful outcomes.

Nice To Haves

• Python for data manipulation, scripting, and statistical analysis
• Experience with data migration projects — moving data between systems, reconciling schemas, validating parity
• Domain experience in operations analytics, fintech, or verification/identity services
• Familiarity with version control (Git) and software engineering practices in an analytics context

Responsibilities

• Drive Analysis & Business Performance Build and maintain models for cost, headcount, and operational performance that inform leadership decisions across Truework operations
• Track and analyze team performance week-over-week, identifying trends, bottlenecks, and opportunities for efficiency gains
• Translate technical findings into clear recommendations for stakeholders at all levels, from operational teams to executive leadership
• Build & Improve Reporting Define and standardize key operational metrics, working with stakeholders to ensure shared understanding of definitions and methodology
• Consolidate and rebuild existing dashboards, validating data accuracy and filling gaps in coverage
• Build production dashboards and self-service reporting in Omni Analytics, giving Truework’s operations teams reliable visibility into team performance
• Strengthen Data Infrastructure Improve and expand existing data models to support reliable analytics across Truework’s operations
• Write and maintain dbt models, manage data pipelines, and work with raw database schemas to strengthen analytical foundations
• Identify and fix data quality issues — bad joins, missing records, misaligned definitions — before they become reporting problems
• Contribute hands-on to migrating Truework’s data infrastructure onto Checkr’s systems, working independently to navigate unknowns and solve technical problems as they arise

Benefits

• A fast-paced and collaborative environment
• Learning and development allowance
• Competitive compensation and opportunity for advancement
• 100% medical, dental, and vision coverage
• Up to $25K reimbursement for fertility, adoption, and parental planning services
• Unlimited PTO policy
• Monthly wellness stipend
