Role 

We are looking for a Senior Analyst - Analytics and Insights to join our FP&A department. This is a hybrid role based in our Mohali Office, reporting to the Manager - Analytics and Insights, FP&A.

As a Senior Analyst, you will sit at the intersection of analytics delivery and analytics engineering—supporting and improving existing BI/data assets while also developing new, scalable datasets and metrics. You will use strong SQL and Python to deliver reliable insights, improve data quality, and help evolve our semantic layer to enable consistent self-serve reporting.

What you’ll do (Role Expectations)

• Provide day-to-day analytics support for existing dashboards, data models, and reporting—triaging issues, and ensuring stakeholder trust in outputs
• Build and enhance curated datasets (tables/views/marts) using strong SQL and Python to enable repeatable analysis and scalable reporting
• Contribute to the semantic layer—maintain metric definitions, improve governance/documentation, and ensure consistent KPI logic across BI assets
• Partner with FP&A/business stakeholders to translate questions into analytical requirements, deliver insights, and recommend actions based on data
• Improve data infrastructure reliability—support pipeline monitoring, data quality checks, and performance tuning to reduce recurring reporting/manual effort

Who You Are (Success Profile)

• You act like an owner. Your passion for the mission fuels your bias for action. You operate with integrity because you genuinely care about the outcome. You adapt to what’s needed, navigating seamlessly between high-level strategy and hands-on execution.
• You are a high-trust collaborator. You are ambitious for the team, not just yourself. You embrace our challenge culture by giving and receiving ongoing feedback—knowing that candor delivered with clarity and respect is the truest form of teamwork and the fastest way to earn trust.
• You are a pragmatic builder. You are obsessed with creating, iterating, and shipping. You aren't afraid to roll up your sleeves and build the first version yourself, balancing the drive for technical excellence with the need to deliver value to users quickly.
• You are data-driven. You use data and analytics to find the truth, measure what matters, and guide informed decisions. You value evidence over assumptions, replacing "I think" with "I know" to drive better outcomes.
• You think at scale. You connect your day-to-day work to the larger company mission and think globally. You build solutions, processes, and teams that are not just effective today but are built to last and support a high-growth, global organization.

What We’re Looking for (Minimum Qualifications)

• 3–5 years of experience in Analytics, BI, Analytics Engineering, or Finance/Data Analytics roles
• Strong SQL skills (joins, window functions, CTEs, performance-minded query writing) and experience working with data warehouses
• Proficiency in Python for analytics/automation (data wrangling, scripting, APIs, building repeatable workflows)
• Understanding of data infrastructure concepts (ELT/ETL, orchestration basics, data quality/testing, dimensional modeling fundamentals)
• Familiarity with semantic layer concepts and metric governance (consistent definitions, reusable measures, documentation)

What Will Make You Stand Out (Preferred Qualifications)

• Hands-on experience with a semantic layer tool/framework (e.g., dbt Semantic Layer/MetricFlow, LookML, Cube, AtScale) and metric governance practices
• Experience maintaining or developing BI assets (Tableau/Power BI/Looker) including performance optimization and stakeholder enablement
• Experience with modern analytics engineering practices (dbt, Git, CI basics, testing, modular modeling)
