Data & Analytics Lead

Responsibilities

• You will partner with Broadview’s investment team, finance leaders, controllers, operators, and portfolio company leadership to define the KPIs that actually matter, instrument them reliably, and create reporting that supports active ownership.
• You will design and build the initial data foundation across the portfolio, including pipelines from ERPs, CRMs, accounting platforms, and operational systems into a governed analytical environment.
• You will establish lightweight, practical data governance across Broadview and the portfolio, including consistent definitions, reconciliations, quality standards, and clear documentation.
• You will build data models, reporting layers, dashboards, and ad hoc analysis that support operating reviews and ownership decisions.
• You will also support diligence and post-close integration, helping Broadview understand a new company’s data, assess its reliability, and integrate it into the portfolio data layer.
• As the model matures, you may help evaluate and manage vendors, implementation partners, and outside specialists while keeping judgment, standards, and ownership-level relationships inside Broadview.

Qualifications

• The right person likely has experience in data engineering, analytics engineering, business intelligence engineering, or an adjacent technical discipline, including at least one meaningful tour of duty building a data environment from scratch rather than only maintaining one that already existed.
• Advanced SQL, including familiarity with relational and columnar databases
• Strong Python for data manipulation, analysis, and pipeline construction
• Practical data modeling experience, especially with transactional data from ERPs or accounting systems
• Experience delivering work end-to-end, from requirements through prototype, production deployment, and maintenance
• Strong written and visual communication skills, including the ability to produce ownership-caliber reports and briefings
• Experience with modern cloud data platforms such as Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, or Redshift is helpful
• Experience with tools such as dbt, Airflow, Dagster, Power BI, Tableau, Sigma, Looker, GitHub, CI/CD, APIs, structured files, and notebook-based workflows is also valuable
• Experience with business systems such as NetSuite, QuickBooks, Epicor, Sage, Infor, Microsoft SQL Server, Salesforce, or HubSpot is a strong plus

Preferred Skills

• Comfort with finance and accounting data, including GL structures, cost accounting, inventory valuation, and ownership-level reporting, is especially relevant
• Private equity experience is helpful, but not required

Pay

Equal Opportunity Statement

Broadview is a small, senior team. There is a clear mandate to build data as a core value creation capability, direct access to ownership, and the opportunity to build something that changes how Broadview operates as an owner.
