Data Analyst (Central Analytics)

The Role

As a Data Analyst, you will own the analytical foundation that the entire company runs on. Reporting to the Sr. Director of Data & IT, you will define what "certified data" means at Hadrian, build the forecasting models that drive planning decisions, and set the standards that let analytics scale across 20+ autonomous factories. This role sits at the intersection of every business function—Finance, Manufacturing Ops, Production Planning, Quality Engineering, and Sales—connecting financial models to factory floor reality.

What You'll Do

• Architect and maintain the certified dataset layer in dbt—models, tests, documentation, and SLAs that the entire company trusts
• Build forecasting models for demand planning, capacity utilization, delivery risk, and financial projections
• Define metric standards: canonical definitions, calculation logic, ownership, and refresh cadence
• Perform cross-functional deep dives connecting financial and operational data (e.g., margin erosion vs. throughput changes)
• Build scalable reporting frameworks that work at 1 factory and 20
• Build anomaly detection for manufacturing KPIs—surface problems before ops does
• Present findings to executives, ops leaders, and finance with appropriate precision
• Mentor BizOps analysts and junior team members on SQL, statistics, and communication
• Partner with Data Engineering on pipeline architecture, data contracts, and quality SLAs

What We're Looking For

• Expert SQL including complex window functions, recursive CTEs, query plan analysis, and cost-based optimization
• Deep dbt knowledge including advanced macros, custom tests, package development, and CI/CD integration
• Experience with Snowflake and/or ClickHouse at scale
• Python proficiency (pandas, numpy, scipy, statsmodels)
• Statistical rigor: hypothesis testing, regression, time series, and experimental design
• Strong cross-functional communication—can translate between data and business with any audience

Requirements

• Bachelor's or Master's in Statistics, Mathematics, Operations Research, Economics, or equivalent
• P3: 2–4 years | P4: 4–7 years | P5: 7+ years in analytics, data science, or quantitative roles

Compensation

The target salary range is $140,000-$175,000 (actual range may vary based on experience).

Benefits

• Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans for employees
• 401k
• Relocation support may be provided for certain situations, based on business need
• Flexible vacation policy
• Equity
