Business Intelligence Lead

Remote

Trellis is a profitable, fast-growing Series A startup backed by General Catalyst, QED, NYCA, and Amex Ventures. We’re reimagining how people shop for home and auto insurance, using smart technology to make something historically painful feel refreshingly easy.

Every day, we help people save time, money, and unnecessary headaches. Behind the scenes, our fully remote team moves fast, owns their craft, and builds products that genuinely make life better.

Led by a three-time fintech founder with a proven track record of going big, we’re building something special, and we’re just getting started.

If you’re hungry to make an impact and love solving complex problems with a scrappy crew, you’ll love it here.

Position Overview

Trellis is hiring a Business Intelligence (BI) Lead to lead our analytics efforts across real-time bidding and advertising campaign performance. You will own the full BI stack including dashboarding and reporting (Looker, LookML) and fluent in the modern data stack (DBT, BigQuery) - while managing a growing BI function. In this role, you’ll both build and oversee high-impact analytics, and partner with executives to ensure our teams have the insights needed to optimize ROI and scale intelligently.

This is a fully remote position, based in the US or Canada, reporting directly to the Head of Real Time Bidding, Thomas Boquet.

We believe in paying competitively for great work. As a remote team, we set our salaries at the 75th percentile of national market data in our industry. You can count on your pay being in line with (or above) the market. For this role, the base salary range is $195,000 – $205,000. We review compensation twice a year to make sure we’re staying competitive and rewarding our team’s contributions.

Who You Are

  • Meticulous: You pay attention to detail and take pride in what you deliver
  • Articulate: You succinctly and effectively communicate verbal and written technical and non-technical ideas and topics
  • Kind, not (just) nice: You provide tough feedback in a clear and concise manner that does not diminish or belittle the recipient
  • Opinionated: You bring strong opinions to discussions but are willing to change your mind when presented with new or better information
  • Product-minded: You focus on the “why” just as much as the “what” or “how”
  • Collaborative: You work within your team and cross-functionally to build consensus and achieve results
  • Autonomous: You are self-motivated, able to hold yourself accountable, and can generate high-value work with little direct supervision

What You’ll Do

  • Lead the BI function, mentoring the team and establishing best practices in data modeling, transformation, and visualization.
  • Help on the development and maintenance of BI models using DBT and SQL, ensuring accuracy and scalability.
  • Build and oversee dashboards and reporting in Looker (LookML) or Tableau for campaign performance monitoring.
  • Partner with engineering and ML teams to define datasets and metrics optimized for analytics.
  • Provide strategic insights to leadership on advertising campaign effectiveness and RTB system performance.
  • Champion self-serve analytics by building intuitive and scalable BI tools for stakeholders.

What You’ll Need

While you don’t need all of these to be successful in this role, we think you’ll be more successful the more you have

  • 7+ years of experience in BI or analytics roles, with a preference for 2+ years in a management or lead position.
  • Strong SQL skills and experience with BigQuery or other modern data warehouses.
  • Proficiency with BI tools: Looker (LookML), Tableau, or similar.
  • Hands-on experience with dbt for data modeling and transformation.
  • Background in digital advertising, performance marketing, or related domains strongly preferred.
  • Excellent communication and storytelling skills, with a track record of influencing business decisions through data.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
