So, what’s the role?
We are currently looking for a Business Intelligence Analyst to join our Data and Analytics team. Kin at its core is built on data, this team is not only providing analytics about what happened in the past but utilizing data to predict the now and the future! As a Business Intelligence Analyst, you will play a key role in the analytic/discovery process across the organization.
You will work with internal leadership to define and structure critical datasets and data consumption layers, and will collaborate with engineering to ingest, clean, and analyze data from multiple sources. You will be responsible for maintaining the single source of truth for various stakeholders, optimizing the cadence of ETL processes, and automating data reporting processes.
In order to be successful for this role, you will need to be creative, empathetic, self-directed, and curious. You will be able to learn quickly about our customers (both internal and external), and be excited to propose solutions that drive customer satisfaction.

Use analytics tools to monitor data quality and ETL process run-times; help identify root causes of data quality issues and weak points in data pipelines; recommend/implement necessary improvements

Strong business acumen to make sense of and bring logic to data
Ability to turn incomplete, conflicting, or ambiguous inputs into concrete action plans

Ability to communicate with empathy and precision to gain alignment with internal stakeholders
