We love team members who are aware of how crucial it is to be proactive and communicative, fully dedicated to providing insights and recommendations in both a technical and non-technical manner.

  • You help others understand the most useful and appropriate applications of data to tackle real-world problems.

  • You deeply understand existing and new technology trends, and you work with business partners to review and recommend innovative and cost-effective solutions.

  • You are a creative problem-solver and enjoy overcoming obstacles that some may perceive as blockers.

What you’ll own:

  • The enablement of Pluralsight team members, helping them use new datasets and dashboards that drive decision making optimization for the business

  • Assist in the curation and visualization of metrics, including Key Performance Indicators that drive operational and strategic success!

  • Creation of datasets and dashboards to help with growth and expansion of our strategic revenue motion

  • The establishment and communication of analytics-related standards, including but not limited to code review, governance of processes, visualization standards, clearly defined use cases, and data security measures

  • Ad hoc troubleshooting and assistance to unblock your colleagues in their myriad analytical pursuits

  • Promotion of a culture of collaboration by organizing knowledge bases, contributing regularly, and encouraging others to contribute

  • Using your ability as a “systems problem solver” to proactively identify and transform suboptimal data, code, or infrastructure for the purpose of maximizing impact!

  • Interfacing closely with Analysts, Data Scientists, Data Engineers, as well as other operational teams within the business to create multi-functional relationships that help with the understanding of company data needs

Experience you’ll need:
