Senior Data Analyst, Rides

Job Description

About the role:

As a Senior Data Analyst in the Central Operations Analytics team, you sit between business stakeholders and the data repo - translating operational questions into accurate, documented datasets and Looker explores that analysts and operators can self-serve. You own everything between marts/facts and the BI layer, and are a sparring partner to the operations analysts and business teams across Rides, Delivery, and wider verticals.

Main tasks and responsibilities:

• Turn stakeholder and analyst requests into clear specs (grain, definitions, edge cases) before modelling, and validate output with source systems and stakeholders before sign-off.
• Build and maintain reusable dbt models, tests, and documentation; extend marts and facts for reporting and self-service.
• Maintain end-to-end Looker projects (LookML views, explores, refinements), keeping LookML in step with dbt-driven or synced explores where applicable.
• Use AI-assisted tooling (e.g. Cursor, Claude) and lightweight automations across dbt, Airflow, Databricks, Python, and Google Sheets to accelerate modelling and remove repetitive analyst work.
• Support break-fix and small refactors when upstream schemas or marts change; coordinate impact with key consumers.
• Follow system design and architectural best practices, collaborating with cross-functional stakeholders to ensure data integrity and consistency across the analytics stack.

Requirements

• You hold a Bachelor and/or Master degree in Statistics, Economics, Data Science, Computer Science, Mathematics, Information Management, Business or similar studies.
• You have significant experience in BI, analytics, or data roles with end-to-end delivery ownership, and can demonstrate tangible impact in data modelling.
• You are proficient in SQL and dbt (refs, layers, tests, documentation) and fluent in LookML (explores, dimensions, measures, refinements, explore-as-code).
• You have a working knowledge of Python for analytics and automation; familiarity with Spark, Airflow, or semantic/metrics-layer patterns (dbt Semantic Layer, MetricFlow) is a plus.
• You are a strong cross-functional collaborator with good business sense, structured written communication (tickets, specs, PRs), and excellent verbal and written English.
• You are proactive, take ownership, flag blockers early, and care about how numbers are interpreted - not only that the pipeline runs.
