About the Role

As a Business Analyst supporting the product management organization, you will play a critical role in enabling data-driven decision-making across the business. You will be responsible for owning and enhancing the reporting infrastructure and conducting deeper analysis that supports strategic planning, product performance tracking, and operational improvements.

You'll partner closely with the Chief of Staff, Program Managers, and Product Leaders to synthesize insights, optimize business processes, and ensure that KPIs and performance metrics are actionable and aligned with broader company goals. This is a growth-focused role ideal for someone who has mastered foundational analytics and reporting and is ready to take on more ownership, complexity, and strategic impact.

Key Responsibilities

• Act as a strategic thought partner to the Chief of Staff, helping define, monitor, and iterate on key performance indicators across the product group.
• Support strategic planning activities, including QBRs, OKR tracking, annual planning, and product performance reviews.
• Provide proactive recommendations based on analysis to improve decision-making and operational efficiency.
• Own the design, automation, and enhancement of dashboards and recurring reports using tools like Tableau and Smartsheet.
• Build scalable, self-service reporting tools and analytics pipelines that enable product and business teams to access key metrics with minimal friction.
• Conduct deep-dive analyses and develop narratives that contextualize performance trends for leadership.
• Collaborate with stakeholders across Product Management, Engineering, Finance, Marketing, and Sales to align on reporting needs and operational metrics.
• Help standardize reporting methodologies and drive consistency in how business performance is tracked and communicated.
• Improve the quality and integrity of operational data across systems by helping establish best practices for data entry, maintenance, and usage.
• Contribute to tool and system integration efforts that enable better data flow and reporting between functions.

What You Bring

• 4+ years of experience in business analysis, product operations, or a similar role at a SaaS or enterprise software company.
• Proven ability to independently manage complex analytical projects from discovery to presentation.
• Strong understanding of SaaS business models, product KPIs, and cross-functional product development processes.
• Advanced Excel and Tableau (creator-level) experience; familiarity with Salesforce, Smartsheet, SQL, or other data tools is a plus.
• Excellent communication and storytelling skills—you can translate data into business insights that drive action.
• Strong organizational, time management, and project coordination skills.
• A proactive mindset and ability to thrive in ambiguous and fast-paced environments.

Preferred Qualifications

• BA/BS in Business Administration, Finance, Economics, Computer Science, or related field.
• Project management experience or certification preferred (e.g., PMP, Agile).
• Tableau Creator-level certification or equivalent real-world dashboarding experience strongly preferred.
• Experience supporting cross-functional teams and working directly with product and engineering stakeholders.

Why This Role Matters

As a Business Analyst, you'll not only maintain critical business reporting—you'll shape how the product management organzation measures success, identifies risk, and seizes opportunity. Your work will provide clarity to leadership, reduce ambiguity in decision-making, and improve how the organization operates
