Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Blue Orange Digital is a US-headquartered data engineering and AI consultancy that builds production-grade data platforms, machine learning systems, and analytics solutions. They are hiring a Senior Business Data Analyst who will lead client engagements, translating complex business questions into actionable data insights and products.
Responsibilities
- Lead client-facing discovery sessions in English with US-based operators, analysts, and executives to elicit, document, and prioritize business requirements
- Translate ambiguous business problems into structured analytical work: data models, dashboards, KPI frameworks, and decision-support tools that get adopted
- Write production-quality SQL against Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, or Redshift, and build trusted models in dbt or the client's modeling layer
- Build and maintain dashboards and reporting in Looker, Tableau, Power BI, Sigma, or the tool the client lives in
- Drive proactive analysis: surface trends, anomalies, and opportunities the client did not ask about but needs to see
- Apply AI tooling (LLM-based analysis, natural language to SQL, agentic data exploration, AI-assisted documentation) to compress timelines and raise the quality bar on every deliverable
- Set the cadence for client communication: status updates, demos, working sessions, and stakeholder reviews, all conducted in English on US business hours
- Mentor junior analysts on the engagement and contribute to BOD's analytics playbooks, templates, and internal tooling
Skills
- 5+ years of experience as a business analyst, data analyst, BI analyst, or analytics consultant, with at least 2 years in a client-facing or embedded role with US or English-speaking clients
- Professional working proficiency in English, written and spoken, with the comfort to lead workshops, present findings, and push back on stakeholders in real time
- Ability to work US business hours with significant overlap to Eastern or Pacific Time
- Expert SQL: window functions, CTEs, performance tuning, and the ability to sanity-check your own numbers before anyone else has to
- Working fluency with AI tools for analytical work (Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, AI features inside BI and SQL tools) and a clear point of view on where they speed you up vs. where they introduce risk
- Strong data modeling fundamentals (dimensional modeling, star/snowflake schemas, dbt or equivalent transformation tooling)
- Hands-on experience with at least one cloud data warehouse (Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, Redshift) and at least one modern BI tool (Looker, Tableau, Power BI, Sigma, Mode)
- Demonstrated ability to lead client conversations: running requirements workshops, pushing back constructively, and driving alignment across stakeholders with different priorities
- Excellent written and verbal communication, with the judgment to scale your message to the audience in front of you
- Bias toward action: you would rather draft a working hypothesis and a v1 dashboard than wait for perfect requirements
- Domain experience in commercial real estate, financial services, healthcare technology, or insurance
- Python for analytical workflows (pandas, notebooks, light scripting against APIs)
- Prior experience working as part of a US-based consulting or agency team
- Familiarity with data quality frameworks, observability tools, or governance practices
- Experience implementing or evaluating AI-native analytics tools (text-to-SQL platforms, AI BI assistants, semantic layers)
- Bilingual in Spanish or Portuguese in addition to English
Benefits
- Professional development budget and certification support
- Fully remote, with the autonomy of contractor work and the team support of a tight-knit consultancy
- Direct collaboration with US team members and clients, not isolated offshore delivery
