About the Role
Launch Potato is looking for a Lead BI Developer to own the reporting infrastructure that powers decision-making across our Credit Cards, Make Money/Manage Money, Banking, and Marketplace verticals. This role offers a clear growth path into becoming a proactive analytical partner who helps the team see around corners. You'll be embedded with the business from day one, partnering closely with our Yield, Paid Media, and Account Management teams to uncover meaningful trends, conduct retrospective analyses across experiments, creatives, offers, seasonality, and CAC performance, and challenge the team with insights they aren't currently seeing.
This is NOT a role for someone who wants to build dashboards and hand them off; it's for someone who cares deeply about whether the work they build gets used, understood, and acted on.
Responsibilities
- Extract accurate insights from raw, unstructured data without relying on clean models.
- Build, standardize, and drive adoption of reporting while leaving teams more data-literate.
- Connect data directly to levers that move the business, such as campaign performance, conversion rates, or revenue per session.
- Architect complex LookML (or equivalent in Power BI/Tableau) models with full understanding of downstream impacts.
- Partner closely with business teams to uncover meaningful trends, conduct retrospective analyses, and connect data work to decisions that move the business.
- Audit existing reporting to identify discrepancies, redundancies, and inconsistencies, then develop a roadmap to standardize reporting across verticals.
- Improve dashboard standardization and execute on ad hoc requests with accuracy and business context.
- Develop trusted data sources to improve the efficiency of data consumption.
- Deliver proactive retrospective analyses across experiments, creatives, offers, seasonality, and CAC performance.
- Become a trusted technical owner for assigned verticals end-to-end, from raw data ingestion through final dashboard.
Performance Expectations
- 30 Days in: Actively engaged with stakeholders to audit what reporting the team is consuming and why, identifying discrepancies, redundancies, and inconsistencies across existing dashboards. Begin developing a roadmap to standardize reporting across your verticals.
- 60 Days in: Bridge business context and data understanding by articulating how assigned verticals make money and what the key performance levers are. Improve dashboard standardization while executing on ad hoc requests with accuracy and business context.
- 90 Days in: Dashboard standardization is in execution, and a clear roadmap exists for developing trusted data sources. LookML structure is understood well enough to begin making changes with full awareness of downstream impacts. Working relationships with Yield, Paid Media, and Account Management are established.
- 6 Months in: Build trust with the business team through education, best practices, and a standardized reporting suite that enables confident self-service analytics. Deliver proactive retrospective analyses across experiments, creatives, offers, seasonality, and CAC performance. Develop a strong understanding of full-funnel metrics supporting each team.
- Year 1: Become the trusted technical owner for assigned verticals end-to-end, from raw data ingestion through final dashboard. Reporting standardization is complete, retrospective analysis is a consistent output, and the business team views you as a go-to analytical partner who recommends action, not just reports findings.
Requirements
- Minimum 7 years in business intelligence or analytics with direct exposure to performance or affiliate marketing.
- Experience owning reporting end-to-end, from pipeline to dashboard.
- Experience working with messy, complex, third-party data.
- Proven ability to partner closely with business teams to uncover meaningful trends and connect data work to decisions that move the business.
- Expert-level SQL skills and comfort with unstructured, complex data.
- Advanced LookML development (or equivalent in Power BI/Tableau).
- Strong curiosity and drive to grow business knowledge to become a trusted analytical partner.
Skills
- Analytical Rigor: Asks the hard questions and traces discrepancies to the source before drawing conclusions.
- Reporting Ownership: Engages stakeholders to understand how reporting is used before building, creating dashboards that are adopted, not just delivered.
- Business Acumen: Invests in understanding the business by asking the right questions before pulling the data.
- Communication: Asks enough upfront to ensure the answer lands with the right context for the right audience.
- Proactive Ownership: Surfaces problems early, engages before being asked, and drives work forward with a clear point of view.
- Collaboration: Builds trust by asking genuine questions and showing care about what stakeholders need, not just what they asked for.
- Curiosity & Growth: Asks more than most and is driven to grow from technical executor into analytical partner over time.
