About the Role

The Sr. Manager, Analytics Engineering and Data Strategy will play a key role in establishing future-ready workforce data foundations that power analytics, AI, reporting, and intelligent decision-making across ETS. The role sits at the intersection of business strategy, analytics engineering, data architecture, and data products, translating complex business and metric needs into trusted, scalable, and reusable data capabilities.

Responsibilities

  • Lead the design and development of trusted, analytics-ready data foundations that transform complex enterprise and workforce data into reusable, business-ready datasets
  • Lead discovery across complex or fragmented workforce data domains to understand source systems, business definitions, data grain, keys, history, dependencies, quality considerations, and downstream consumption needs
  • Design scalable data models, transformation layers, and architectures that support workforce metrics, reporting, advanced analytics, and AI
  • Establish consistent approaches to business rules, historical data, reusable dimensions, data quality, and lineage
  • Partner with business and technical stakeholders to translate analytical needs into scalable, reusable data products rather than one-off solutions
  • Define data-product architecture, transformations, business logic, quality standards, documentation, and ownership
  • Balance immediate business priorities with long-term architectural scalability, maintainability, and reuse
  • Lead hands-on development of complex data transformations using SQL, BigQuery, and Python, leveraging tools such as dbt, Git, and Apache Airflow or comparable technologies
  • Establish engineering standards for modular development, version control, testing, deployment, orchestration, and monitoring
  • Implement automated data-quality, validation, reconciliation, and lineage capabilities to improve trust and reliability
  • Serve as a technical bridge across Business, Analytics, Data Engineering, Architecture, Governance, and enterprise technology teams
  • Shape the analytics engineering and workforce data strategy, identifying opportunities to simplify fragmented data ecosystems and build scalable capabilities
  • Enable reliable data consumption across Power BI, Excel, SQL, Python, and emerging AI solutions
  • Mentor team members and promote engineering practices focused on reusability, automation, quality, and business value
  • Mentor and upskill analysts and other team members in SQL, data modeling, data-product thinking, reusable transformation patterns, data quality, and modern analytical development practices
  • Promote a data product mindset centered on business value, reliability, reusability, maintainability, automation, quality, and ownership

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Data Science, Information Systems, Business Analytics, or a related field preferred; advanced degree or equivalent experience welcomed
  • Strong understanding of modern analytics engineering, data architecture, data modeling, and data-product principles.
  • Advanced knowledge of SQL and strong understanding of cloud data platforms and modern enterprise data ecosystems.
  • Strong understanding of dimensional modeling, fact and dimension design, data grain, keys, historical data, slowly changing dimensions, analytical marts, and downstream consumption patterns.
  • Knowledge of modern transformation and orchestration approaches, including SQL-based transformation frameworks, dbt or comparable technologies, Apache Airflow or comparable orchestration platforms, and Python.
  • Understanding of software-engineering practices applied to data development, including Git, peer review, automated testing, CI/CD concepts, reusable code, environment management, and controlled deployment.
  • Knowledge of data governance, lineage, metadata, data quality, ownership, privacy, and enterprise data-management principles.
  • Understanding business intelligence and analytical consumption patterns, including Power BI and other analytical tools, and how upstream data architecture affects downstream semantic models, metrics, reporting, and analytics.
  • Understanding of how trusted, reusable data products can enable AI, advanced analytics, intelligent decision-making, and emerging data-driven capabilities
  • Advanced knowledge of AI-ready enterprise data architecture and scalable data platform design patterns
  • Advanced hands-on SQL experience, including complex transformations, dimensional modeling, analytical marts, and production-grade reusable datasets.
  • Experience working with cloud data warehouses, with Google BigQuery experience strongly preferred
  • Experience using Python for data processing, automation, validation, reconciliation, or related data-engineering use cases
  • Experience translating complex or ambiguous business problems and metric needs into scalable data architecture, models, transformations, and reusable data solutions
  • Significant experience designing analytics-ready data foundations and governed enterprise data products, including ownership, quality, lineage, and documentation
  • Ability to independently navigate fragmented data environments, investigate unfamiliar data domains, and lead scalable solutions amid evolving requirements
  • Experience applying modern analytics engineering practices, including version control, automated testing, code review, documentation, deployment, and monitoring
  • Experience with dbt or comparable SQL-based transformation frameworks and Apache Airflow or similar orchestration technologies preferred
  • Experience collaborating across Business, Analytics, Data Engineering, Architecture, Data Governance, and Technology teams to deliver enterprise data solutions
  • Demonstrated ability to balance immediate delivery priorities with long-term architecture, reusability, governance, and maintainability
  • Strong communication skills, including the ability to explain technical concepts, architecture decisions, and trade-offs to nontechnical stakeholders
  • Experience mentoring data practitioners and advancing scalable analytics engineering and data-product practices
  • Experience leading implementation of AI-enabled data platform modernization or operational transformation initiatives
  • Experience designing scalable data infrastructure supporting advanced analytics, ML, or GenAI workloads
  • Experience establishing governance and quality standards for AI-consumable enterprise data assets
