About the role
As a Senior Data Analyst, you will design, build, and own the analytics that ShipStation Global’s business teams use to make decisions. This role sits between the data platform built by data engineering and the business and is responsible for performing data discovery, defining and governing metrics, and analysis activities to identify specific information required to support client decisions and then present these results in a meaningful and intuitive format, using a variety of BI tools and techniques.
The ideal candidate is highly analytical, genuinely curious about how the business operates, and comfortable working through ambiguity — able to sit down with a stakeholder, ask the questions that surface the real decision behind the request, define the problem, and then engineer a durable solution. Equally important is the judgment to push back when what was asked for is not what is actually needed, and the communication skills to explain why.
This position is hybrid (3 days per week in office) and is located in Austin or Dallas, Texas.
