Altana is the network for trusted trade. Our AI-powered product network empowers governments and businesses to build a more resilient and secure global economy while keeping trade flowing. # What You Will Do
Design and implement a scalable analytics data warehouse (or lakehouse) layer on top of Altana’s existing data infrastructure. - Define the canonical dimensional model: facts, dimensions, conformed keys, and slowly changing dimensions for core business entities (customers, transactions, subscriptions, product usage, pipeline). - Stand up and own the transformation layer (e.g., dbt) with version control, CI/CD testing, and documentation standards from day one. - Establish a semantic/metrics layer so that “revenue,” “active customer,” and “retention” mean exactly one thing company-wide. ## Deliver Insight at Scale
Build and maintain executive dashboards covering SaaS metrics (ARR, NRR, GRR, expansion/contraction, logo churn), product engagement, and operational health. - Create self-service datasets and exploration environments so that PMs, GTM leads, and finance can answer their own questions without filing a ticket. - Own data quality monitoring, alerting, and incident response for the BI layer. ## Partner Across the Business
Act as the embedded analytics thought partner for engineering leadership, product, sales, CS, and finance—translating business context into data requirements and vice versa. - Proactively identify trends, anomalies, and opportunities in the data; surface them before anyone asks. - Drive alignment on KPI definitions, measurement methodology, and reporting cadences. ## Set the Technical Direction
Evaluate and recommend the BI tooling stack (visualization, orchestration, cataloging, observability) with an eye toward total cost of ownership and long-term maintainability while re-using infrastructure and tooling already part of the larger stack. - Write the playbook: style guides, naming conventions, PR review standards, and on-call expectations for the BI function. - Hire, mentor, and grow the BI team as demand scales. # Qualifications
7+ years of professional experience in analytics engineering, BI engineering, or a closely related data discipline. - Deep fluency in SQL and at least one transformation framework (dbt strongly preferred). - Strong dimensional modeling skills: star/snowflake schemas, conformed dimensions, incremental loading patterns. - Production experience operating a modern lakehouse stack (e.g., Snowflake/BigQuery/ Databricks), including transformation tooling (dbt or DLT) and a BI layer (Looker, Tableau, or Sigma). - Track record of defining and shipping company-wide KPI frameworks and executive dashboards. - Comfort working in ambiguity: you have built a BI function (or a significant new workstream within one) from scratch before. - Excellent communication skills—you can explain a data model to an engineer and a retention curve to a CRO with equal clarity. ## Nice-to-Haves
Experience with Python for data pipelines, scripting, or lightweight ML/statistical analysis. - Familiarity with SaaS business models and metrics (ARR, NRR, logo vs. dollar churn, cohort analysis). - Exposure to supply chain, trade compliance, or government contracting domains. - Experience with data cataloging or governance tools (e.g., Atlan, DataHub, Monte Carlo). - Prior experience as the first or founding analytics hire at a growth-stage company.
